Waiting for gp call

5 Replies

Called GP and waiting for their call. I remember during sigmoidoscopy the doctor asked if I have AF which I have and he said that you have a blood supply ruptured that could cause thrombosis. He also asked if I am on blood thinner medication which I am not. Biopsies x4 samples taken and attending histology report. For all this time since May I went to hospital several times but my symptoms were ignored and I was labelled as an anxious person. Coughing blood in A&E but told it might be gum disease. If I had been checked properly in May maybe got some answers by now. Looking for help privately didn't help either, the specialist refused further investigation and replied to deal with symptoms because there is no a magical solution for my symptoms. Lost faith in doctors. Sorry to say that! There good ones too, but difficult to find one when you most need them.

Thank for replies and will keep you posted.

Did anyone call you back?

Hi Maureen1958,

GP advised to wait for histology report in order to have a treatment plan. Hopefully, I will get some answers by next week. Less bleeding for now, but there is some anxiety inside me any time using the toilet.

Drinking Fortisips and water.

Thank you so much Maureen1958 and wish you well.

It's understandable that you are somewhat anxious, it's scary when you get things you don't understand what they mean or what they are trying to tell you. I hope it's starts to feel better soon.
