I feel utterly shocked at what some people have had to endure before they get a diagnosis, it is truly a scary thought that GP's will now be in control of their own money.

Fingers crossed that this wonderful charity and its supporters will be able to raise awareness to enable others to get a speedier diagnosis.

Hi, I'm in Mansfield (Nottinghamshire), my dads name is John, and he is being treated at Kings Mill Hospital, with a possible referral to Notts.

WOW! 😀

Thank you to all of you for your kind words,
It's amazing how reading your replies have helped me to see things in another light.

I've always strived to make others happy, give advise, or a listening ear, and it was kind of embarrassing for me now to be the one needing somebody to help me out and give me a ray of light, but you have all managed to do that and I'm grateful.

It's currently snowing here, but I feel so warm and comforted knowing I'm not alone (even though I wouldn't wish for anybody to have to be here).

Many thanks guys 🙂

Hope you are all well (as can be), you will all be in my thoughts

I'm so sorry to hear about what you had to suffer before you got any answers, I feel selfish now to be complaining about a 6 month wait.
Thank you for the helpful and encouraging reply.

Best wishes for you Bridget x

Thank you for your time replying eve,

It's hard to have faith in the nhs when they won't listen (minority I admit).

I read that in the average gp's working career they may only see 1 maybe 2 patients with myeloma,
I'd never heard of it personally but I knew something wasn't right with my dad and I think the doctor should of realised this to and done some blood test or something.
I am now in two minds whether or not to complain, I know the GP could not of prevented this happening, but I just feel so let down by his manner and lack of 'care'.
He comes across as because he has the title 'DR' he is the most important one and we have to just go along with what he says.

I'm glad that you and your husband are now receiving the help you need, fingers crossed for my dad.
