Hi all
just wondering if anyone has had op cancelled due to cough/cold.
I was feeling positive as my TURBT got brought forward to the 18th December.On 17th felt absolutely awful so they said couldn’t risk going ahead.I’m still quite poorly (no covid) but might be contacted in couple of weeks.
Back to being anxious frightened and scared the cancer can progress more.
Also if the NHS will be coping with this new variant.
Im scared to go in and scared not to if that makes sense.
Best wishes to all
Hi Waffledog. In the great scheme of things a few weeks doe not make a great difference. The waiting does increase the anxiety. I am due for a non cancer procedure later this month. I can understand your reluctance to go in owing to covid, but the sooner you get it done the better. My hospital has set up a new urology dept. away from the main hospital which is reassuring. Best wishes.
Sending you best wishes Waffledog. The waiting game is awful, made worse by the current situation, but keep the faith with the NHS. They will pull out all stops to keep general hospital environments virus free. As Rily says delays of a few weeks don't seem to worry consultants so I think we have to take their word for it. Try to relax and take one day at a time. xxx
The waiting is hard but they won’t put you through an anaesthetic if you really aren’t well enough.I remember turning up for a pre- op assessment and having the op cancelled by the anaesthetist as he was concerned about my heart.I had the TURBT not long afterwards when things had settled.Get well soon.Love Jane x
