[QUOTE="ColinS, post: 1988936, member: 73365"] Hi DC I am on Methatrexate and Humira Injections, i have been on them for some years as i have with all my other medications. After i had processed what the Dr said i was suprissed what he told me. I have the test results come up on my Computer, and when i saw my Diabetes results i rang the surgery, he did not ring me and the receptionist said he had put a note on my records saying he just needed me to book a regular appointment (which was in March). After coming on here and the advice i was given i rang the surgery back and insisted that if they could not get me in i wanted a telephone cosultation, thats when he went on about markers in my blood test and he was sending me for test (as far as i can make out it's a Barium meal not sure what that means except i have to drink a liquid that looks like liiqid concrete). But what i cannot get my hear around is why did he put on my notes that i only nedded a regular appointment, then when i ran him it was you need to be tested for Pancrias cancer within 2 weeks,. A regular appointments infers to me that its none urgent, but a cancer screen does sound to me like its a little bit urgent, might think about changing my Dr. Thanks for all your inputs it is much appreciated and has made me feel a bit better about things. Now i am going to look for a test thingy, my wife said she say a starter kit. Thanks again and i will keep you informed. [/QUOTE]
