Hi! when do you get your appt and will it mean a day in Hospital?  Who is over-seeing your treatment?

How long will U have to wait 4 the appt..  ?    I find it's the waiting that is the worst part, once I have an appt. and Plan, I relax a little.  Who will go to keep you company?

None of us can avoid aging.  Once has to wait so long for an NHS appt. these days which can add to any one with health anxiety.

This too will pass.  Make a list of your worries to take along.
