It's now been 25 weeks since my red flag referral and I still haven't been scheduled for surgery .

Feeling very low

Any advice?

  • Hi Mimizan

    That does seem a long time and I can understand why you are feeling low.

    I would suggest contacting your GP for an update. They should be able to contact the hospital and find out why you are waiting and hopefully move things along. Mine did this for me. 

    You could also email your consultants secretary and ask to be contacted. 

    If you feel like talking things through would help then please give the Support Line a call. It is normal to feel down with all of this going on and the waiting around is tough. I hope your GP can chase things up for you.
