i've got to go to hospital.. sooner than arranged - panicking

Okay so read my story to understand and everything

Oh my! I'm shaking right now!

A letter arrived today. They cancelled my 6th March appointment but given me a sooner one at the beginning of February.

I was so excited and happy but that just changed!

Why is it so quick now? They rarely ever put people up the list twice?! Did I get a worrying test?!

I'm panicking now! They're gonna look at my bum and stick cameras in me and more tests.

I need to breath. Just began hyperventaliting.

I'm happy but.. why?! They never do this!? I've got three weeks?! What if there is something wrong with my kidneys?! My bowels and intestines and stomach!? What if I need an operation!?

I've got doctors on Monday with my GP but I wanna know what's going on and happening to me. What's wrong!? Ahhhh


I'm not sure why i'm posting this. I guess I some how think atleast someone on here will know what this is like and can help or something!

Don't get me wrong, i'm grateful that i'm being seen sooner and i'm happy but scared now!!

It's good news Tash! It's a step in the right direction, hopefully towards a dx.
Talk to your GP on Monday, relay your fears to her.
If there is something wrong, always remember you're in safe hands, they know what they're doing!
Now just chillax!

Try not to worry! (easier said than done I know)

Hopefully for you it will just be that they now have a better idea of whats wrong with you and might finally be able to start you on a treatment plan

...now breath! xx

Everyone panics. It is a normal reaction to be unsure about what may be ahead, and to not be thrilled about strangers poking and prodding around private, sore areas.
I'm sure your Mum will be with you, and believe it or not, preparation is the key.
I've seen some of your posts asking about things, and being honest about your feelings. That's exactly the way to go. Keep it up. You are entitled to empower yourself by finding things out, and having some control over what happens.
You'll be fine.

Thanks all.

Astra, sometimes it feels like they don't know!

My mum will be with me. No way would I go alone!

Hello Tasha
It is really good news that you will soon be diagnosed and have a treatment plan in place.
It is only human to be apprehensive about venturing into the unknown of procedures
and treatments.
We have to place our trust in doctors we don't know but they will also have the experience and knowledge to deal with the illness.
Likely someone cancelled their appointment and you were lucky enough to get the spot.
Your mum will be with you all the way and helping you to understand what is happening.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Hugs and best wishes
Trysha

Welcome the opportunity to see your doc sooner. Write out some of your questions so you can remember them for your doc/team. Let them guide you through your interview with your doc - basic questions such as: what is the outlook? medications/treatment? side effects? when to contact your team going forward, dietary/lifestyle restrictions. Take the opportunity to get all the info you can at the start.
Best wishes...

They reschedule all the time. Even with massive appointments. They bumped up my surgery last minute which was scheduled 6 months in advance.

There is a huge list of why, double booked, staff going on vacation, medical conferences, the list can go one for quite sometime. It's for the best.

Regardless of the reasons why tash this can only be a good thing. :hug:

You are undiagnosed and that is never a good place to be in. Rather than looking for answers as why they brought your booking forward, look at is as perhaps getting solid answers sooner as to why you feel and are experiencing the things you are.

I know it is scary but you will be fine hun, truly you will.

Dusty. :heart:

Tasha, When you do see your doctor will you share the results and what they told you?? Only what you are comfortable sharing to the public...

 

[Swirl]

Don't think its something serious. I know if it was they have the ER send out a letter to come in ASAP. Be glad!!!!!!!!!

Tasha, When you do see your doctor will you share the results and what they told you?? Only what you are comfortable sharing to the public...

Yeah sure. I don't mind. If it's turns out to be something really personal, which I doubt, then I won't but otherwise yeah i'll share it.

I'd like to share if it means helping someone or atleast making someone feel like they're not alone ))
