"urgent appointment sent in by gp at ent Leicester..."

About: Leicester Royal Infirmary

Anything else?

was told by Gp a lump in my throat needed a cell sample as scan results came in fast. two texts from hospital reminder to turn up and that treatment would be done on day. arrived on time today to be told i had lump in neck and did i know what the doctors blood test results said. then sent away to come back next week to have another scan. then the nurse and receptionist were very rude as i stood there they had heated talk about what day i should come back as it most likely not cancer, the receptionist never spoke to me and nurse sent me back to seat to wait. i got told to wait for appointment in post then come in. No one thinks about the fact i was told i was going for urgent cancer test and time off work plus stress just oh well come back next week for scan then another appointment in new year.
