  • Has your surgeon not given you some sort of time frame?

  • Hi my surgeon said about 3 months but the nurses have said more like a year because of covid backlog

  • Yes I had my LAR August and its a year plus. They seem to be clearing the checks I was told I’d be down for preop in January! Though I’m Bristol I think most are running same. Berkshire came up four months. It’s that postcode thing. 
    As long as they can get the cancer patients seen. At my appointment they’d cancelled two cancer operations as no theatre staff through Covid. 
    My son works in a hospital and has been working overtime for nearly two years. Some sneeze and they’re off. It’s really tough in everyone and others are working with long Covid  Covid and Cancer it’s so hard to manage them both for the hospitals  

    I hope that you have yours on time and all goes well.
