Re: New member question

I've just Googled internists in the NHS and there are none, however, there are internists in private practice In the city so I'm going to get an appointment with them once my husband is home next week! He won't mind paying as he's so unhappy at the way I've been treated.
The one and only time he came to the hospital with me was after a bank holiday weekend.
I was scheduled to have a blood transfusion on the Thursday but by the Tuesday I couldn't stand up I was so weak and dizzy. We went to the oncology unit and the nurse said my observations were fine and I couldn't just walk in and have a blood transfusion!
After I burst into tears and my husband went mad, I got the transfusion. That was the same day they discovered my blood clot.
Honestly, I could write a book on how NOT to treat cancer!
