Dear All
I hope you don't mind me posting on the discussion forum. My name is Sara and I have recently been given responsibility for our GP education and awareness programme at Myeloma UK.
I am working on a report which will examine some of the key issues and challenges in diagnosing myeloma patients and the impact that a delay in diagnosis can subsequently have, both in terms of quality of life and emotional wellbeing.
If you have experienced a delay in diagnosis or have had a less than positive experience with your GP in them missing potential symptoms I would very much like to hear from you. Conversely, I hope to cover some good examples of how GPs have been thorough and efficient and investigated symptoms swiftly to ensure a rapid diagnosis.
If you have a story to tell I would very much like to hear from you. I have a set of interview questions that I would like to ask, over the telephone, that will take around 30-40 minutes.
I plan to do this over the coming few weeks so it would be great if you could email me at sara@myeloma.org.uk, if you are willing to participate, giving some information about yourself, your experience and a telephone number that I can contact you on to arrange a convenient interview time.
Thanks in advance for your help with this.
Kind regards
Sara
