I am so VERY, very p....d off! I feel like life is in on hold yet again. We can't plan to do anything & it's driving me mad.
I have been having slight problems with multiple humoungous fibroids. Saw the consultant who insisted I needed to go in for D & C, hysteroscopy & biopsys on them as there is the possibility of having the big C. I'm convinced I have no such thing but reluctantly agreed to go into hospital.
She said she'd get me into hospital in just OVER 3 weeks time - so immediately we booked 2 weeks in Calis beginning of July going out 3 days after I saw her. Much to our amazement, the day we left I had a hospital appointment for midway during our break - needless to say, I cancelled the hospital appointment & it was rescheduled for a week after we got back.
Saw the consultant before the op. - she really had a go at me for not cancelling the holiday & said I'd better be there for the follow up appointment 3 weeks later! When I was groggy from the general anaesthetic she came round & told me I'd better be around in 8 weeks time for the follow up & I'd probably have to have a hysterectomy. It was not something I want (& I'm not sure that I'd agree to this unless I know it's totally necessary) but I was still falling in & out of consciousness so although I noted the fact she said 8 weeks when I next came around she'd gone.
After 9 weeks of hearing nothing I phoned the hospital & I wasn't even down for an appointment - the earliest possible time apparently is 13th November - 16 weeks after I went in!! I went to my doctors yesterday & she looked up the results for me. To the amazement of both of us the results came back with 'Insufficient samples for analysis!!!!' HOW? The damned things are big enough for huge samples at 13, 10, 7 & 7cm - a small melon, a grapefriut & 2 oranges + a few plums & grapes LOL Just think - if I did get rid of them I'd probably weigh a few stones less!
I'm tamping mad, my doctor (who is lovely) says she just can't understand it & I really will have to go through this all over again ASAP. Apparently it's a priority with the symptoms I had. Surely the consultant should have been in touch with me long before now & admitted she ballsed up?
Both of us feel as if we're in limbo. I've been looking for flights out to Calis but now we really don't know what to do. I'm still convinced that I have nothing to worry about but my other half understandably is worried.
I can't understand how such an experienced gynaecologist could make such a mistake OR did the labs lose my samples? Things like this really shouldn't happen. Anyone come across anything like this?
I'm SSOoooo tempted to up & go to Calis (we're bothing missing the place)& go with my gut feeling on this as I'm sure that there is nothing to worry about.
