So finally my op was planned for 28 Dec and was admitted at 7am. I was 2nd to go to theatre. I was told at non to get into town and stocking. And I waited and waited. 4pm the surgeon left theatre to tell me I would not get op as 1st lady was still on table and complete as yet. She promised I would be fitted in this week and I'd be contacted the following day.
So I waited until 2.40pm following day - no call. I phoned in, was told op organised 9th Jan. I said no surgeon promised me it would be this week. I was so upset.
Anyways, my op is now next Tues 9th which will be week 12. I just want it done. It's a full hysterectomy, ovaries and lymph nodes removal, plus cutting part of my bowel as I've endometriosis attached to it.
Generally, which week was anyone else operated on?
Thanks

Hi Pixie
This must be so frustrating to be cancelled right at the very last minute and then to be told it still won't be done until the 9th. I know I myself really built myself up to have my op when it was planned and I would probably have gone to pieces in your circumstances.
I totally get that you just want it taken out and I suppose one way of looking at it is that this time next week you are likely to be home and recovering.
I had my surgery 4 weeks after my first bleed and I think I was fortunate in that things went to plan. My delays however were over the post op pathology that took longer than expected to arrive as I was operated on just before Easter.
Try to have an easy few days over the weekend and Tuesday will soon come round. Sometimes things get cancelled/postponed and it can be things that are just out of our hands. It is really tough though and I am sorry it has happened to you.
Good Luck for Tuesday and if there is anything you need, you know where we are
Jane
