Another update... Specialist appointment...

[FallenAngel1984]

Hi girls,

So I saw (not a specialist) just a run of the mill gynae yesterday.... In a endo clinic (I think). I was supposed to be seeing the specialist consultant but he wasn't in... Ffs! Anyway. I went through everything with her and she was lovely... She said given everything I've said and the fact that I've been on contraception constantly and the symptoms haven't abated she thinks surgery is the best route however... She wants to do an MRI first to see how severe and also where it is so they can get the correct surgical team together... In my case likely to be an endo gynae and bowel surgeon.... She said she will put me on the urgent list for the MRI and also put me down to see them in 6 weeks time to discuss the outcome and what is next. I queried whether endo could be seen on MRI as I was under the impression that it couldn't. She said that she didn't think so either until she came to work there. Apparently they have a flashy MRI scanner that is very sensitive and also people that are specialists at finding endo on MRI so I felt more confident that it wasn't a waste of time. So now I just wait.... Again!!! I seem to be in a state of flux waiting for appointments. Oh well, we'll see what the next few weeks bring!!

Is this via the NHS route or you going private?

This is NHS... I wish I could go private... This would be dealt with within a matter of days/ weeks instead of months... 😊
