Oh dear friends ! Please do not stay silent when you know that something is not right!! If a doctor dismisses your diagnosis then you must go elsewhere!! Time is precious and you must advocate for yourself!! It could be a matter of life versus death!! I get so angry when I hear people who are ill are treated like it’s nothing !! You deserve better!! Every person here would tell you this!
I will look for more information about your situation and update!!
Hugs and encouragements

Thank you so much for your concern. The medical profession should be aware of wait times, for specialist treatments. Using this information that the public would not be privy to, and be able to instigate an appointment in the beginning of treatment, in my case the nodules were not going to go away of their own accord and would need treatment or removal. Not a good time of the year to need any medical assistance. My specialist will be on leave for a month from middle Dec to end January, I just have to be patient and await their call. As I am an existing patient, and they have read all my tests etc, I am on a list for a cancellation if it comes up. Fingers crossed. In my state there isnt another specialist available to see.
