Hi Northerner the hospital rang and have said that the operation will go ahead as soon as possible and that I am top of the list. I will have to sign to say I understand the risk of corona and that I understand there are limited ventilators.
Very scary but I have to go with the experts and hope I will be ok.
I hope you are ok and everyone else are staying safe.

Hi Louise
Your right you do have to go with the experts they would not do the op if they didn't think it was necessary. I would presume they have sorted their hospital in that they have created hot side and cold side . Presuming you wouldn't be in a Corona area or with a team that are involved in treating Corona .
in some respects you will be in one of the most hygienic places .
Im not in your position but would imagine lots of tears etc . I would be the same ..my logical brain says more risk from cancer you already got it and need rid !! Think about a scenario of being involved in accident and they saying no treatment Corona involved and leaving you at side of road .
You will be in and out as fast as possible then lock yourself away to recover .
keep in touch
take care

Thank you. They are not sure whether I will be at my hospital or the Nuffield and they also don't know if it will be my surgeon or someone else. I would like my surgeon as she did an amazing job last time. I am ok but very scared because of corona.
Fingers crossed I will be ok

We're all scared Louise but at least I'm lucky enough to have had my surgery but will have to go to hospital for treatment .
Hopefully you will be isolated at Nuffield . I just said today that our Nuffield should be used for cancer surgery and treatment . Somebody said York doing this .
I found it very unnerving going for bloods then treatment.
take care PM if you want to
