feel as though yesterday was a waste of time

Less than one minute read time.

I went to see the surgeon yesterday about  my lymph node removal,

He said he wanted to do my operation either next week or the week after and as it is a 60mile round trip arranged for me to have  my pre operative there and then so I spent another 2hrs having that done .

The surgeon presumed I had had my scan which was booked at the same time as my appointment with him,

When I said I hadn't he said he would chase it up but when I finally got home the scan letter was there it was for 26th january.

I phoned  his secretary first thing this morning and she said she would see what she could do,but when I phoned the scan people this afternoon they said that is the first space they had and being so far away and needing to fast for 3hrs before its unlikely I will get a cancelation ,

I am so frustrated ,if the surgeon thought it needed doing so quick it can't be good to have to wait until at least another week and I had got myself all geared up for it to happen sooner

    They warned me I could lose my voice for good when I had thyroid out and sounds like your hubby has same sense of humour as mine cause he made loads of jokes re the peace he would get!.

    There are many thyroid patients who have the same op so Im sure they know what they are doing and as you say - whats the alternative?

    kind regards

    I can't think of anyone off the top of my head Plum, but if your familiar with YouTube, there's footage of an American girl who's had it done.  Just do a search for melanoma.
