If one of the warning signs is a big package, I'm safe as houses

Thanks mate. Been a tough time. Can only look ahead now. Better times are coming.Hope all's well CJ just read your thread. I was cleaning the house next to your grandparents the other day, sorry about your loss etc. Anyway keep positive.
Finally had a bit of an update today. Got some blood tests and scans of my pelvis, back and chest booked. Sounds like it was a quite aggressive form of cancer due to the size of the tumour they took out so I feel lucky the hospital acted so quickly. If my GP had messed me around for much longer before I was referred things would've certainly been even worse.
Take this as another reminder to check yourselves and that you know your body better than the person sat in front of you. If you think something isn't right, badger/annoy them until something is done.
On this, my partner who has both a chronic disease and works in the NHS strongly recommends telling GPS what you want to happen. As in “Hi, I have X and I’d like to be referred to a specialist” apparently works a lot better than “I have X, help”
Certainly sounds like sound advice. Hope they're ok and fair play to them for doing the job they do.On this, my partner who has both a chronic disease and works in the NHS strongly recommends telling GPS what you want to happen.

When I hadn't heard about my first scan for a few weeks I went to the surgery and asked what was going on. The receptionist said she could see that one should've been requested but the doctor hadn't done it. This was in the same visit where I was asking why they'd only given us a prescription for 2L of my son's milk when he was drinking 700ml a day! I was told the GP would sort out both issues that day but I told them I wasn't leaving until I had confirmation that he had. It was done in less than 5 minutes.Got to get in to see one first.

A few days later the hospital ended up calling me to question me on my symptoms. When I confirmed them they said I should've been given an urgent scan but the GP had requested a regular one where the waiting list was around 6 weeks. Within 2 weeks of that call I was in theatre.
Can't fault the hospital and McMillan nurses to be fair. They've been brilliant. Same goes for neonatal when Seb was in there.It's falling down isn't , across the board
Ok, I’ve had my own issues of late and await results of CT scan on the kidneys. I had colonoscopy, then endoscopy, 3 ct scans, x-rays and blood tests. 2 non-cancerous things diagnosed because I was presenting with excruciating abdominal pain.Cancer op today. If there’s a post you take note of today let it be this one. Please check yourselves folks and if the docs are dragging their heels badger them.

CJ. It’s great you posted, we like to keep things simple and avoid ‘the noise’ of people showing they care…it’s a bloke thing. You‘re on hurdle closer to recovery. All the best
Glad to hear that CJexcellent news.
It seems to be on its arse here in Bham. Father in law went to gp with horrendous cough and loss of appetite in November. Repeat visits and palmed off time each with antibiotics as his symptoms worsened by the week. Fifth visit at the start of May and he was told if no improvement he will be referred for a scan in a fortnight.
Had to get an ambulance out a few days later as he couldn’t breath. Taken in, scanned and multiple advanced tumours found on his lungs. Died three days later.
Obviously he may have been too far along when he first went to his gp but the symptoms he had are literally the definition of possible lung cancer symptoms that the NHS push. Whether they’d have made more of an effort had he not been 70 I don’t know, but it stinks.
Sorry to hear this, have had the same sort of thing happen as well. Just palmed off every time...too late, dead.
70 no age. I’d complain so people learn and I’m so sorryGlad to hear that CJexcellent news.

He didn’t smoke but was against the vaccination so me and the wife were convinced it was long covid. Sadly not.
That’s awful. Thoughts are with your family.Glad to hear that CJexcellent news.
