    Im so annoyed at our health service, I went to the lourdes hospital yesterday to get the results of a biopsy of a polyp that I had removed during a colonoscopy eight weeks ago. After waiting an hour and a half aswell as 8 weeks I was told my sample never made it to the lab it has been lost and I now have to wait another year before they can test me again. Meanwhile I am left unsure if the polyp I had removed was malignant or benign. I feel so let down, who can we trust? certainly not our health service and certainly not Harney! I am a 32 year old mother of two young girls who need me and if this thing was malignant I could be getting treated appropriatley so that I can be sure I will be around for them for many many years to come.

    That is totally ridiculous that you cannot have another test for a year when it is the hospital's fault that the first test was lost. Go to your GP and ask for help in getting the test repeated. And/or see if there is a patient support office in the hospital and ask for assitance.
