Hi Ursula

Sorry I can't help either. Obviously the neurovascular team must look at your blood vessels/veins/arteries, blood pressure etc. Other than that, I'm not sure.

Personally I'd ask my GP, because I think he will have had a copy of their letter and perhaps his version has more information.

Also, if it was me, I would definitely attend the appointment on 16 July - its so hard to get these people to see you - I wouldn't want to miss an opportunity for more info on my case.

But first of all, yes, I'd speak to my GP.

Big hug

Hi Ursula

Sorry, I cant help either, maybe they are another specialist in the field. I agree with Lesley, have you tried to contact your surgeon, or could your GP explain? Take care, hope all goes well on the 16th

Love Tinaxx

Hi Ursula,

Sorry, but can't help you with this one. I would imagine that individual cases would differ depending on where you lived and which neuro hospital was treating you etc .... If I was you, I would definetly attend the appointment, especially if you've been concerned with your health ..... as Lesley has already said, ask your GP to explain why they want to see you ..... Is travelling difficult for you?
