Waiting for results of tests/diagnosis
I tried to see my usual GP who has a good grasp on my health condition, but as was expected, he was unavailable. Instead I saw a different doctor who informed me that he had come from a hospital setting to that of a GP. I was somewhat perturbed as I found it difficult to hear what he was saying. I explained and he said he understood. Nevertheless, he continued to look at his computer screen while he typed, looking away from me the whole time. I attempted to explain that there were a couple of issues I needed to discuss with him, but he would not do so. I thus focussed on the main one - namely a sudden loss of weight, linked to an increase with problems passing urine.
I had lost around 20 lbs in five weeks and seemed unable to regain it no matter how much I ate. I was also experienceing greater difficulty in starting, continuing and finishing my urine stream.
He would not countenence further discussion, and said that he would refer me to the genito/urinary department for tests, and book a CT scan.
I have had the urine flow test, and more recently a CT scan. I'm waiting, worrying, about getting the results. The CT operative who administered the CT scan and to whom I spoke said that the results would be with my GP within 2 weeks. It's past that point now and I would be very grateful to know. I'm perhaps more than usual concerned because my wife's in hospital recovering from major bowel surgery.
