    I think it depends on what country, which county authoritie you are under and what your levels are. I was at about 600 with sat% of about 90 when first refurred by my doctor. That was in May... It was November before the hospital appointment. I guess they probably though I was low priority or maybe this is just how long it takes to get an appointment in Hereforshire, uk.

    Hi Sue -

    It depends on where you live. It took me about 3-4 weeks from time of diagnosis till I was in the chair for my 1st phleb.
