Hi there Lulumac, and welcome to this friendly forum. I'm so sorry that you are feeling so desperate. Would it help to chat to us on our nurse led helpline? It's open Monday to Friday 10am to 3pm on 0800 652 7330. I'm sorry you have such a long wait for your appointment, I appreciate waiting when you are feeling so unwell is really difficult. Just a wee reminder that we don't allow results to be posted as no one on the forum is medically trained to interpret them.Take care,

Trust10.

If you can’t get an appointment sooner (is this on the NHS?). Can you pay private just this once to get your answers and ease your mind? I’ll be honest I couldn’t wait until November if it was on my mind and worrying me.
