So Dd who has previously had a pulmonary embolism a couple of years ago had a phone call from a haematology consultant out the blue last week telling her to immediately get to the hospital.
the only contact she’s had with the hospital recently is a gynae appt as she’s waiting for a laparoscopy for possible endometriosis. The gynae dr said they wanted to discuss with haematologist before surgery as Dd is on blood thinners.
But I am worried about the urgency of the haematology appt and he seems to have gone through all her symptoms and issues very thoroughly (nobody else seems to have cared for the last few years) and he told Dd he wanted her seen by oncology within a week. But Dd reckons he said it wasn’t cancer related.
so Dd has been sat in the chemo suite most of today, had various blood tests but she doesn’t know what for. She asked the staff why she’s been sent to oncology and they said she needs to talk to the haematologist, that they don’t know. They sent her home without any results (after she sat there for two hours after the tests because they said she was to wait for the results but then they changed their mind).
The only thing Dd can think of is that he said something about her hormones not being cut and wanting to start her on a drug which normally cancer doctors prescribe.
if it’s just blood tests why send her to oncology? Do oncology see non cancer patients/patients where it’s not suspected.
