Thank you for your concern I did not ask to be referred to a Consultant I was referred due to a blood test. I told consultant I didn't want these procedures but she wasn't listening. Maybe she will now. Maybe not.

I'm 61 had one anaesthetic at 13 hope I don't have anymore.

Thank you but anaesthetic I'm more afraid of. Not an option for me nor sedation. Eek

I do understand what you all are saying but I'm very fearful of procedures and will do anything to avoid them. If the worst happens so be it.

I received appointment for these tests I have cancelled them. Not going to happen that's my choice.
