Curates egg

Story from nhs.uk

"Curates egg"

About: Amersham Hospital

on 13 FEB 2015 I had a biopsy done, in fact the surgical team decided to totally remove the lump cannot fault the team who carried this out in a most exemplary manner. Their attitude was thoroughly professional, kind and caring. The results of the biopsy are a different matter, today 17 April, I still have not got the results as to whether the lump was malignant and, on phoning, I was told to try my surgery next week. I wonder what effect this has on my anxiety levels, so the experience was a bit like the curate's egg - good and bad in parts.
