You may have difficult emotions resurfacing when going to follow up appointments - you don't have to go through this alone.
“Out of the blue I received a letter detailing a new scan that I was required to have. This one wasn’t on the list so I was immediately concerned that something had been picked up in the other scans, the results of which I hadn’t received at this time. I tried calling the hospital but couldn’t immediately get the reassurance I needed and so I called Suzanne at Reframe. She immediately put my mind at ease and provided other perspectives on why they might want to see me and suggested that she would call the hospital and clarify this herself.”
