Whirlwind is the most appropriate description. From calling my gp on a Wednesday morning, and being given an appointment for just over an hour later, I had a consultation and bloods for markers etc on the Friday, ultrasound,full body ct scan and pre op during the following week,and surgery the next Tuesday, so all under 2 weeks. My head is still spinning, and as yet, I still have no actual diagnosis,but cancer and lymphoma have been mentioned, and a referral to oncology by the surgeon who treated me.
