Re Bmb . How long did you have to wait for the result of a bmb. I had another one a few weeks ago , I was climbing the walls after 4 weeks with no news from my heamo, A week later I rang her secretary , she said " oh no we haven't sent you a letter, but it all appears ok" Eventually received a letter to My Gp cc to me.
I am not normally a wus but I was not easy to live with whilst waiting to hear.. Anyone else have to wait that long or is this normal.?
Best wishes Sandy.

I was lucky then, was told I needed a bmb and had it within a week. I go back tomorrow for results of that and the ultrasounds so all in all it has taken about a month.
I have regular bmbs ie every couple of years. When that appoinment is made another one is also scheduled to tell me the results 2 weeks later. I wouldn't be able to wait any longer than that just in case things had deteriorated - on one occasion they had! Stay in control. Say that you prefer to get your results face to face and before the letter is sent to your GP. And I don't believe any secretary has the right to pass on such important results and certainly not in such a casual manner.
. I do agree we need to know and have the right to know about our condition. I am afraid my heamo works on the premise that I don't need to be fed info. This wonderful site and forums we attend are my source of knowledge and help in educating me ..for which I am so grateful.
Thank you For your response Steve. I do try to be patient as there are other patients with far greater needs than mine. But got myself into a state with the lack of communication . So my fears were unecessary thank goodness.
I read your very articulate posts, we are so lucky to have this wonderful site where we can share our good bits and bad bits.
