At last I have written confirmation for Aug 20th - Wide Excision and SLNB. It's been a long time coming, and until I actual got the call - even though I'd been told I was listed, I was still nervous. But just to play with my mind a tiny bit more, the letter says "report at 7:30 a.m. - ring before leaving to make sure there is a bed". Well, all I can say is, there'd better be. I know it's a pro-forma letter, but do they really go as far as getting the operating theatre, the surgeon, the anaesthetist, and then not have a bed? I'll bring my own, OK?
