Cancelled op

Heya, 

Why don't you ask to schedule the op for after the wedding?

Hi asked them to move it to the following week but they said unable to as the equipment was due to go for maintenance. Also a bit worried about it spreading if left much longer.

I’m really shocked at this. What is more urgent than your case? 

How much longer have you got to wait for your op?

Heya, 

You've not filled in your profile, so I can't see what type, grade, or stage you have. But generally endometrial cancer is slow growing, so there wouldn't be an issue with delaying the operation. They were happy to delay mine by nine to twelve months so we could try hormone therapy first. Even if the hormone therapy didn't work, they were confident nothing would change with my cancer in that time. 

And Smashy, there are literally hundreds of situations and circumstances that are more urgent than a hysterectomy for an early stage, bog standard endometrial cancer - or any slow growing cancer for that matter. (Again, not sure of the exact diagnosis in this case).

Hi Muppet,

My operation was arranged, then cancelled at the last minute due to an emergency.

I had to wait another 2 weeks. At first I was cross, but then decided there must be someone worse off than me. And I was quite relieved I was deemed as not a priority!!! In the end it made no difference to my outcome Grade 2 Stage 1A. Good luck xxxx

Hi ..only a week 

Only 1 week. Like I say I asked for a delay of another week but they said no.

I had op for recurrent endometrial cancer cancelled for 15th july because they need a urologist involved because its near the ureter and he wasnt available. Im still waiting for another date and keep being fobbed off. Ive now got hospital complaints manager involved. The stress of not being able to get a new date is affecting my health. Should add op was cancelled on the 4th 2 days after they confirmed the op thats supppsed to be urgent!

So sorry to hear that , hope there is not much further delay for you !

My op was the week before my cousins wedding..I got another friend to drive me to the church and watched every one arrive then went home. Someone sent me photos on WhatsApp  during the afternoon and evening and I felt I was a part of it! Good luck with your op x
