I hadn't posted any updates here for 10 days (or 12 days after I first contacted University College Hospital, London) because I was hoping to have some good news to add.
Sadly, I have made zero progress with UCHL in the last 12 days. I have phoned and e-mailed numerous people, and have been passed on to many other people, but no-one has been able to help me in any way. I fail to see what is so difficult .... I simply want an appointment with a specialist surgeon for the second TURBT examination followed by the radical cystectomy (if that is deemed necessary).
No wonder the NHS has such a bad reputation .... although I naively thought that coming in as a private patient would bring a more positive response than I have experienced so far, rather than having two of the people that I contacted openly lying to me.
I now have to wait until Thursday 31st May when the PA / Secretary to one of the surgeons is back from her holidays to find out if that surgeon wants to take on my case .... or find another specialist centre that is more interested than UCHL.
