We saw the oncholohist once a few weeks after and she said she was waiting for the pathology report. Naturally we were apprehensive.Just to add she had no bedside manner and was very abrupt. My husband teceived a text to say she was phoning on a certain dayto chat to him. We waited for the call in anticipation. No call. Same thing happened twice more, no call then he got a text for an appointment at the hospital. Again anticipation only to be informed on the machibe there was no appointment. Went to desk and were told it was a phone appointment again, even thoigh clearly said hospital, but as we were already there we could wait to see her. The time for the phone appointment came ,and went - no call. There wete three people in front of us, and the onchologist was running two hours late. We were at the end of our tether so went home. We thougjt maybe our GP would have the results so went to see her and told her about the missed phone calls from the onchologist. She said the appoitments wete 'advisory' only and she would only call us if she had the results in, but they wete not in. I said well it would have been courtesy if someone had told us about this, and saved us weeks of anxiety. We got the usual Spanish shrug and we are still waiting. I do hope this has helped anyone in a similar situation. Remember if you are awaiting results of something and have an appointment, if the results are not in the phone call or hospital appoitment are null and void, and I am not shrugging..
