Well i finally got the results of my sons x-rays, which showed no bony abnormality. This is great news but i'm still waiting for his ultrasound scan appointment. I phoned to speak to my sons consultant last Friday after i got the results back but he was'nt there but his secretary put me through to another doctor and i asked him how long we'd have to wait for the scan and he said 6-8 weeks is standard for routine scans for children. I told him i was really worried that if it was something serious then waiting all this time could be dangerous. He said that he did'nt think that it was but he could'nt give a cast iron guarantee, and that if anything changes in my son that is worrying then i should go back to my GP. He was very nice and did reassure me but i'm still terribly anxious over this and feel that i should be pushing and making a fuss for the scan to be done sooner. Not sure if that would make any difference anyway as i'm sure they see me as a neurotic mother.
Should i just trust what there saying? Doctors can make mistakes. Been thinking about going private, this waiting is playing havoc with my anxiety.
