Second opinion at last

Hi all

My GP has agreed that I need a second opinion from the local gynae service I've been under for a few years now and I've been referred to Chelsea and westminster hospital in London. So I was just wondering if anyone has any experience of their specialist endo clinic?

Many thanks in advanced xx

Hi,

I was with the NHS general gynaecology and after lots of delays and being passed from pillar to post m, I took the step to go private (hubby has insurance through his work) and managed to get to a specialist endo consultant.

I would say the difference is immense. I was given very little info from the general gynae and left to decide between options form so nothing to full hysterectomy with no guidance.

My specialist consultant was able to consider all options but guided me much more firmly down a route which I think has been the right thing for me.

Good luck with your appointment x
