After waiting months I had an appointment a recently with the Royal Perth Hospital (RPH) Dermatology to investigate a skin cancer which is spreading. At this meeting with the specialist and supervisor, it was concluded that I would be admitted later for an operation to have the cancer removed.
I recently phoned up to see why there had been no notification or contact made with me since that original appointment to arrange the operation. I was told by the Dermatology Reception Desk that the only record was that I was listed for a biopsy but no date had been arranged. This is despite the arrangement discussed with the specialist at my appointment.
In the meantime, the open weeping cancer is continually spreading. I have now received two letters with the same information stating that I have an appointment for a minor biopsy later this year, despite earlier arrangements in which I should already have had a full operation as arranged at my original appointment.
This is stressful and I am fed up of being, what I feel is, lied to, victimised, and racially discriminated against.
