My surgery has been cancelled for Thursday they just rang to tell me I was waiting to have my tumour removed Weary I asked when it would go ahead she said we are working to sort something out other alternatives what they are I don’t know. 

How is this going to effect me I was only there yesterday having my Covid and blood tests. 

  • So sorry to hear that . It’s exactly what happened  during the first wave . A directive comes down from the top . The issues last time seemed to surround ICU/ high dependency beds . Availability of staff and post op care . 
    Some hospitals are able to keep doing both though . During the first wave they did get there in the end . Either using and identifying other ways to ensure patient safe or different venues . Hopefully they will get there and let you know very soon as I heard they are want to keep this type of surgery getting carried out quickly . 

    It is so upsetting for people when they have built up the courage to face surgery .

    I am truly sorry and I hope you hear very soon .

    Take care ,

    Hope you hear very soon when your op will be.  That is so frustrating.  I think a lot of hospitals are trying to avoid mistakes of last time and are keeping cancer care in seperate hospitals, that was my understanding anyway.
