I'm just upset because I'd hoped for a quicker appointment.....I can appreciate that the time delay may not cause much of a problem, but I still worry about it. My partner is getting a lot of hip/leg/sciatic pain, which is really getting him down, and scaring me in case it's bone mets (tho to be fair, he's had sciatica for several years....tho could it have been the cancer all along?). He had a bone scan, but we don't know the results yet. He had an MRI of lower spine 2 years ago, looking into the sciatica, and that was fine. Hoping to see the GP soon to sort out the pain medication, among other things....he's spending a fair part of the day in bed because he's only comfortable lying down.
