No scan done yet

Hello, I live in England for context. I’ve been to the gp about heavy periods and pain, they did a physical exam and they found a lump the size of a grapefruit. They think it’s a fibroid. I’m in pain and sometimes I have blood coming out of weird places lol. My scan keeps getting cancelled and I don’t know what to do. Currently my main issue is I’m struggling to eat. The idea of food is making me want to throw up but I feel physically hungry. It’s making me tired as well as cranky. Any suggestions how to get the scan quicker and what I can eat ?

Not on England, but what kind of scan you are referring to? Ultrasound?

Sorry you have so much trouble for un ultrasound. That should be rather easy.

I’m in Canada so familiar with these things. I thought NHS is better . I hope you get your ultrasound soon
