Hey guys, my wife was told she had her surgery tomorrow, she had her pre op Tuesday and now they've cancelled the op. I was just looking for reassurance that this is normal, and will it effect the cancer spreading.
Thanks
Hi and welcome to the Online Community but I am so sorry to read about your wife’s diagnosis and cancellation of her operation.
Unfortunately cancellations can happen a lot but is it normal for her condition I don’t know and how this translates to her condition spreading again I don’t know but you may find talking with others who are walking the exact same type of cancer treatment path will help you navigate this challenging time.
The New to Community is like the Community Reception area.
