I was due to have my salivary duct cancer removed plus a neck dissection to remove lymph nodes and a cheek reconstruction on Tuesday 20th October 2026, but today they cancelled the operation until 3rd November 2026 as both surgeons who initially saw me and offered to do the operation we’re both not free on that date. It’s an aggressive high grade cancer and I’m concerned that the delay may cause the cancer to spread. I’m 82 and until the surgeons saw me in person my only treatment was ADT hormone suppressant but after a face to face appointment as I’m physically fit and still work they offered me surgery. But it’s now delayed which worries me.
kind regards
john.
