Firstly thank you to you all for your kind and positive messages.

On Tuesday I phoned for a appointment or phone consultation with a regular gp not a locum, needed to outline my problem with receptionist who was understanding undoubtedly upset and sympathetic.

Doctor who I wanted to speak to was on phone duty that morning which was a plus. Phone call came within 90 minutes from phoning. I explained my results to the doctor and that the Colorectal consultant was writing over the weekend, i told the doctor I was scared, and outlined I had lost 2 of my brothers, he asked whether I was sleeping which I haven’t done for a long time. Doctor said he was not waiting for any letter that he would be doing a urgent referral that morning to the cancer unit that I would hear within 2 weeks, was taken back as I thought the referral would had gone to the Gastroenterologist who deals with the Pancreas. Because it is a tumour they need to be 100% that it is not cancer.

Best wishes to you all

I don't know what to say about that Pamelah. Could you ring the GP surgery for clarification as to who and where exactly the referral is going to and tell them of your concerns. I hope you get some clarification.

Thank you Gnarli, I cannot fault my GP. He’s pushed so much back in January the consultant told me to take Fybogel which I did, made me worse, my GP told me to stop Fybogel, referred me back to the same consultant, that’s when they started looking further xx
