Appointment cancelled for biopsy results

Hi Lynne, thanks, yes I finally got a callback from the nurse, just before I had to go out to my meditation class. She told me the lump was benign, and when I asked what it was she said it was a fibroadenoma.So that problem is resolved with a wonderful result. A great relief.

But now I have another problem to deal with.  I will be writing to my GP saying "We have a problem. I need to be able to trust my doctor to be honest and not to be cruel to me and my family, but it looks like you have broken my trust.

Today is my daughter's birthday. She gave me most of last year, and was devastated to think that this year may be a rerun of surgery, chemo etc. I wanted the news quickly for her and my husband too, not just me. To try to convince me that we could expect to  have to wait 2 weeks was savage to all of us.

The fact is that I only spoke to receptionists through this whole mess, never to her, and I suspect the problem may have been receptionists saying untrue things to make space to fit in some emergency patient or other important thing. But that is still totally unacceptable.   I need some answers from her before I will feel I can trust her again.

The irony is that she has specifically assured me that she will always tell me the truth. She referred psychology clients to me for a time, and then she stopped. So  I asked her if this was because she had had complaints. She assured me that she would have discussed such things with me if they happened, not just stop sending people, but that she had stopped using the referral service involved. So maybe it is not her at all,  it is her staff. I still feel I need an apology and some real answers. Am I over-reacting?
