So I had a very unhelpful consultation with a surgeon on Wednesday. Yes I am going to have my lump removed (who knows when - and by whom?) - but I had to fight for the right. My care has been interesting to say the least, from departments who don't talk to each other and scans that are read by some random person who knows where in the world and a doctor who doesn't even attend the MDT meetings he says he is reporting to. I am so through with this. I have had to try and balance the what if's with should I pay for private and go through all the tests again? I don't think I can delay this anymore.
