Medical OT
I already have my appointments for my CAT scan and MRI scan of my brain.
This is worrying. It usually take ages. One is for next Thursday. To get it so soon usually means the consultant is worried too. OMG. Just let me think someone cancelled and a brain tumour is not on the cards. TBH, I would not be surprised as I've been waiting since my ovarian ca in 05 for it to get me again, which it will at some point. I try not to think about it as much as I can but also try to be optimistic. It's a sinus problem, right? My docs are doing the right thing by testing me as loss of smell & taste can be brain tumour symptoms & with my history it's best not to take a chance. Tweed |

Tweed, that might be the main reason you got to jump the queue - you have a history of cancer, which automatically puts you into a different catetory from someone who doesn't. So it doesn't necessarily mean the consultant is worried about you. But I'll keep my furbutts purring for you. They'll be especially good at this during your CAT scan. :) -- Joyce We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both. -- Louis D.

Lets hope is just because of stress, bereavement of a friend, neighbour problems and what seems like continual health problems and not something more sinister. It did not help tonight when I saw "Boston Medical" when a man had a tumour in his sinus cavities and had to have half his face taken off to access it. You will all have to excuse me if I am confrontational and horrible atm. Everything annoys me, and I really can't help it. Tweed |

That's almost certainly it- every department in the NHS (not just A&E) pratice triage where they work out which patients need to be seen first and which can wait a little longer and which can wait a lot longer.

I don't think it's because I have a brain tumour though ;-) I think it's because I have to say something that others might not agree with and I don't care! Tweed |

Lets hope is just because of stress, bereavement of a friend, neighbour problems and what seems like continual health problems and not something more sinister. I'm a pretty irritable person myself, and I have far fewer excuses than you do. Don't worry about it - I think most of us understand! You will all have to excuse me if I am confrontational and horrible atm. Everything annoys me, and I really can't help it. I know what that feels like, I really do, even if my problems aren't as relentless. Go easy on yourself. I won't tell you to "relax", but I like Judith's advice - try to spend some time doing relaxing things. It might help a little. -- Joyce God's original plan was to hang out in a garden with some naked vegetarians. -- Seen on a wall poster |
