I need a scan on my ovaries etc and just got my appointment through for January 15th! I honestly don't know how im going to be able to wait until then with the sheer dread im experiencing every minute of the day.

Do you think it may be worth ringing up to say I will accept any cancellation appointment at all or is that something they will automatically do for the next person on the list?

It wouldn't harm to try. They might have a cancellation that you could take. Good luck x

It might be worth going on the cancellation list, I did this when I was waiting for an endoscopy and did get in a few days earlier. Good luck let us know how you get on. x

Yes, My hubby had an appointment sent by letter and they phoned up for him to go earlier. Good idea. Good Luck

They obviously are not expecting it to be anything serious. It is only just over a couple of weeks away, so it is not too long to wait. I know it seems like an eternity when you are worried and you just want it over with. You could phone the appointments office and say you are willing to take a cancellation if they have any.

Thanks magic, did your husband phone them up first to say he was willing to take cancellations?

No he did not missacorah. but they did have a cancellation . he has another appointment coming up so maybe we will have another call.
I had a call from another hospital too ,the other week, that was a cancellation.
