Uuuuugh!
At the start of December I had been referred to a haemotologist oncologist in order to check out some enlarged nodes popping up over my neck. Before seeing him, I had an US of the area and the back of my neck to check the nodes out. Although enlarged, they were within normal ranges. I also had a big chunk of blood taken from me and had a raised white count and quite raised serum ferratin.
He, at the time, insisted all was good and these markers weren't hugely outsideof the normal range (though I never saw the range myself- but I also had a cold at the time which may have skewed?)
He sent me for a CT Scan regardless, though, and said he was looking forward to discharging me.
CT Scan got done on the evening of the 21st of December, felt like I was wetting myself and that I could taste magnets - the usual. Christmas and new years came and went, I was pretty chilled out following doc's words. Staff at the hospital told me that unless urgent, my results most likely wouldn't be read and authorised until early Jan.
Early Jan, letter comes through the post, another appointment with the Haemo/Onco doctor (he scheduled this before I had my CT Scan), which is surprising as I would think they wanted to refer me back to GP to be discharged. He scheduled this appointment the evening of the 19th of December - before I'd even had my CT scan.
I thought I'd call and chase my scan results to see if they're in. It turns out they were read, authorised, and sent to the oncologist on the 22nd of December (I had my scan the evening before).
If my scan came back clear, I'd rather not take the time out of work, have seven large vials of blood taken, just to walk into his office and be discharged. It's also the NHS' time, money, and this is the busiest period for them following the winter appointment rush and staffing difficulties.
I'm also slightly concerned that my scan results were authorised and sent to the doctor so quickly, and that he hasn't discharged me nor contacted my GP since.
I'm not even sure what I'm asking here, I'm just getting a bit worried now basically.
