Denise i'm so sorry your anxiety levels are through the roof i'd be the same. That is very poor management on the hospital side sending you a letter like that, that would turn up on a weekend:mad:

I don't have any explaination as to why they would send your doctor a report saying everything is fine and then you receive this letter.

I think what i would do is go to A&E and ask a doctor there about it...i'm not saying they would be helpful but if they see what state your in, they may be able to look up your details on the computer and put your mind at rest.

The NHS hospitals have there faults and do make mistakes and send someone elses letter to the wrong person...this has happened to both myself and my husband...I had someone else details for a Choose & Book Appt, she was having the same 'op' that i just had!!

I hope everything goes well for you hun, we are all here for you.

Sending you big hugs:hugs:

I cannot understand why if it was so urget the neurologist didn't send you an appointment earlier and also the GP said the results were fine so........:shrug:

thanks for your replies its really really appreciated
calmed down abit now. Have been thinking perhaps its a mistaske and the letter should be for someone else. Im just going to try and ignore the symptoms and put them down to anxiety as i have since i was told scan was clear untill i get intouch with the hospital monday plus if it was something really serious they would have rang me surely. :)
