Hello :-)

Waiting for appointments now seems to be such a common thing which I know does not help us but I hope it will help somewhat to your frustration and anger you are feeling that this seems to be happening most places at the moment

However one positive is you did get seen sooner by getting a cancellation and now got a diagnosis and hopefully the right treatment can be started soon :-)

Let us know how you get on :-) x
