While I was out seeing customers today my wife took a call from the urology department at the hospital where I had a TP biopsy two weeks ago this was following an MRI scan that reported PIRADS 4. (A bit surprised they called my home number as so far they’ve always connected me on my mobile) Anyway they said that following my biopsy they want me to attend the clinic next Friday to discuss treatment options. My wife passed the message on to me, and so in between appointments, I called the urology department to ask them what the results of my biopsy were, there was definitely an awkward pause and then he told me that he couldn’t give me the results as he wasn't medically qualified to do so, I said is "it because you're not allowed to give the results over the phone?" and he said yes there is that but also he wasn’t qualified, I politely asked if there was someone available that was qualified to give me the results, again bit of awkward silence, then I was told no all the doctors were at another
hospital today and then there’s a doctors strike next week that’s why the appointment is next Friday.
I did say that having waited two weeks already it was really unfair to have to wait another week to find out what the results of the biopsy are, he agreed, apologised, and said there was nothing he could do.
I really don’t want to sound ungrateful because everyone I’ve come into contact with so far for my scans and biopsy etc have been wonderful, but another week waiting is not going to be easy, and has obviously has added
considerably to the worry.
