Cancer referral took too long but care good

My wife went to her GP in Dereham with concerns. They treated her for a urinary infection for 9 months and then a new young doctor came along and said she needed a scan and referred her to the hospital. Once at the hospital she was fast tracked for cancer treatment. She had a hysterectomy, chemo and radiotherapy. Once she got to Norfolk and Norwich the care she got from them was excellent but my GP delayed her getting to them. She had further operations chasing the cancer. 4 years passed and then suddenly she felt very ill. She couldn't keep warm and was in a lot of pain. Went back to the surgery and nothing happened. So in desperation she phoned her former cancer nurse who managed to get a scan for her the next day. She was then phoned by the consultant and was given days to live. I can't fault the care she got from the hospital, shame our doctors didn't act quicker.
