Well, I've given a few jars of blood for them to test and cross match, the ubiquitous urine specimen, had my blood pressure checked and an ECG. I've been through my medical history about 3 times. After much ummimg and aaahing they decided that I should have my insulin the night before, even though I shall have nothing to eat after 6am, but I mustn't take my blood thinning pills. (I am on a once a day, long acting insulin)
I have been told that if anything sinister is found, I will have to go back. The whole point of the operation on Monday will be to carry out a Histocytology and a D&C (had one of those already, a complete waste of time). Basically, the histocytology is to get material for biopsy.
So I'm really none the wiser yet.
