Hello, I hope you may be able to help me. I was diagnosed with Fallopian tube cancer mid March following surgery. I was told by the consultant I needed further surgery to stage the cancer and it needed to be done within 4 weeks. I was told this needed to be done at another hospital by robotic surgery. I was offered surgery on the 5th of May but my mother died suddenly and I wanted to go to the funeral. I explained this and was told I’d be offered another date.
I hadn’t heard anything from the hospital so called the consultant secretary who said my surgery was now pencilled in for 16th of June. I was upset it was taking so long especially as I’d had my pre op assessment on 27th April.
I still hadn’t had confirmation of that date so I called the secretary again today and now told my surgery will be the 30th June.
I am so upset I don’t want the surgery anymore. I haven’t had any contact from the hospital in all this time regarding treatment and have not even met the oncologist as I was told I’ll need chemotherapy.
can you tell me if this is normal to be delayed constantly with treatment
thank you
