Just replying as it may give your questions a boost. It's worrying isn't it when things seem to take so long to get done. I hope somebody chips in here with some advice, I can't give any advice but can understand what you're going through.
Not long to wait now though until the 2 nd and I'm wishing you all the best and that you'll get some answers, make a list so that when you see the Dr there's nothing you forget to ask
take care xx
