    Onco is also consultant at our local private hospital. Wonder if I'd have to wait a month if I visited her there?

    Unfortunately I think the new rules are that you'd have to pay everything privately if you went down that route ...but no harm in enquiring

    there are companies which do it, but I don't know the costs. Healthcare at home being one. And you'd need to be very careful about dividing your care between NHS and private...
    Depending on the outcome it might be worth raising it your MSP, there's been issues raised about radiotherapy at Raigmore, might be you could get some help that way, for you and for others in the same position.

    I'd been on the waiting list for Dermatology for a condition related to my Crohn's ... eventually got the appt and was waiting when I was admitted to hospital. My DM phoned & explained & they said a new appt would be sent out ....... it's for November this year:eek: that's a full year since the one that had to be cancelled!
