Sorry to hear your news. It might be an idea to ring the "fitness for surgery" team on Monday as I imagine there will be a period when surgery is off the cards. I developed an abscessed tooth just before I got a date and it added weeks

BTW stress does not cause shingles but lowers your immune system making you more susceptible.
