"Cancerous polyp initial notification"

I completed a bowel screen test late last year and returned a positive result and was advised to have a colonoscopy that same month. This was booked and completed in Karratha a couple of months later. On the following month I was contacted (via phone) to ask if i was available to come in and see the surgeon, no other details were offered - i advised them i was in Perth and was told it could wait until i was back in Karratha and booked me in. When i arrived for my appointment i was informed the original surgeon was not available so i would be seen by someone else. The surgeon i saw told me 3 polyps were removed and one was cancerous. I was due to travel overseas the following day and asked if this was urgent or i could deal with it after the trip.

Unfortunately, there was a language barrier (the surgeon) and i was unable to get my question answered. I decided to cancel my trip and seek treatment. I went to a GP in Karratha to get referred to a colorectal surgeon, unfortunately because a colorectal surgeons name was not used the referral was not actioned (i found this out after a couple of days after ringing the Perth hospital). I decided to seek treatment in Perth myself and flew down to book into a GP to start the process again. I was unable to get a copy of the histology report from Karratha Hospital to take to Perth? After finally obtaining a copy, I noted that the lab had contacted the surgeon and discussed the results a couple of weeks before I was contacted!! (I believe this is noted in the histology report)
