Blood Work.....Thank God for our GP!

Those with multiple myeloma, pancreatic, stomach and ovarian cancer – which each have fewer than 10,000 victims a year – are most likely to need several GP visits before a hospital referral.
These are the so-called ‘Cinderella cancers’, regarded as the poor relation in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

I would say our GPs are really good but I had about five visits and saw two physios before being referred.
