Over a period of 18 months I had lost vast amounts of weight. I hadn't seen my GP for over a year and on a routine check up she was very concerned when she saw me and alarmed about this rapid weight loss.
Although I was feeling ok I was a bit tired so together these two things made my GP decide to refer me to the hospital for tests. I so grateful that my GP made the referral. The fast track process was quite amazing I couldn't believe the timeline. I saw my GP on a Monday, on the Wednesday I had a call from the RCDS team to book me in for a CT scan on the Thursday and on the Friday I was phoned with the result. Can you believe this timescale?
I was so relieved that my results were clear. Georgia and Katie were both great in terms of explaining the process but also in their caring manner and professionalism.
I had never heard of the RCDS team but the service delivered is quite amazing. I must also say that the staff who gave me the scan were very good.
Thanks to everyone involved in making a potentially stressful situation less worrying. A first class service delivered with care and compassion.
