Well I contacted my MP last night, got a reply within 2 hours saying he would contact local council covid helpline, got a phone call just now and Ive been added to the high risk list in case I need help. Big shout out for my MP! Big boo for my GP.

Im not done yet, next stop is an email to PALS about my GP lol. I swopped Oncologists after complaining about my Consultants lack of empathy, bluntness and not being treated correctly . I will stand up if I see something isnt right lol.

Thanks Gwen. I dont think ppl realise that if you dont get what you deserve in hospital or from yr GP you dont have to just accept things. Ive found that out the hard way and now I stand up for myself. xx Kathy xx

Well done Kathy! You’re a shining example of how to get things done for all of us. I thought my GP was completely useless and totally lacking in empathy (she told me I had cancer over the phone!), but yours takes uselessness to a higher level. All the best, petal, and enjoy your deliveries! Deb xx

Doing fine, thanks Kathy. Had a wonderfully pointless phone consultation for my annual check up, (useless without a CA125 check), but the doctor was lovely. Rearranged for August! We live in interesting times....Keep up your good work. Deb xx

I am so glad Kathy and as my hematologist said to me "stop being so nice--this is your life! If not happy with a doctor or treatment, speak up!" You did! It worked! Boo on your GP!! (What is an MP?) oxoxox Judy
