Waiting For Cancer Treatment Because I Do Not Help Government Stats

Charlotte Armstrong has taken to Facebook to warn others about an Nhs and government tick list.

Armstrong said “Actually disgusted at the Nhs!!! So basically I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer stage 2 over 4 weeks ago…..basically it started in my womb and it has moved to my cervix too!

I Was told because I’m not on the governments tick list for getting their stats up with cervical and ovarian cancer I do not need to be seen as urgently as others do!

I Just phoned them only to be told there is other urgent cases and I’m still on the waiting list!!! Sounds selfish or not I have cancer too!!!! I’m so disgusted at this…….to top it off I was left to rot for 10+ years with pcos (Polycystic ovary syndrome) no treatment or anything  because I was overweight so I do not count!

I have never cost the nhs a penny in my entire life and the one time i need them to help I’m not on the make the government look good scale so fuck me!!!!!! 😠😠😠😠 rant over FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS AS MANY PEOPLE AREN’T AWARE OF THESE RULES REGARDING STATISTICS BY THE GOVERNMENT!!!! ALSO THERE IS ONLY ONE HOSPITAL IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND THAT DEALS WITH THIS TYPE OF SURGERY……THE FULL WEST OF SCOTLANDS FEMALE POPULATION WHO NEED HYSTERECTOMY DUE TO CANCER….ONE WARD!!!!!!

  • This is appalling. I had endometrial cancer, 2/3 like yours, and I was wizzed through all necessary checks/scans etc, and was given a hysterectomy and ovaries removed in July. 1st went to GP in May.Couldn’t believe how fast they were. Sorry pet, I know this won’t be helping you much, but just felt I had to let you know how quick my folk were up here in the North of England. Good luck sugar, please keep us informed about how you are doing x x x
