Yeah........Got my appointment through...........:) :) Its March 8th. Can't wait. I'll finally have a definitive answer as to whether or not I have Lymphoedema. It's been almost 3 years to get to this stage and if not, it'll be back to square one. One step at a time.........

I had my scan mid-Dec. Don't see consultant till end of March for results. A bit frustrating having to wait so long.

Consultant away most of January and think only runs his clinic once/twice a week. Figured if anything bad they'd bring appointment forward. Good luck for the 8th.

My appointment is April and like you can't wait to get a definite answer. Ive seen so many doctors who just dismissed it after prodding it or said things like "put your feet up" or "moisturise". It was a rheumatologist who after I badgered her to examine my foot and leg said she thought it was lymphedema and to see GP (who I'd already seen) about it.

It angers me that so many doctor's have tunnel vision. I was told the same as you and was also told that my problem was 'in my head'. Frustrating or what!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck for April
