4 month wait for hysterectomy

I'm gutted I have been told I have to wait another 4 months for my op as there is a bed shortage I have been waiting since October had my pre op in December, would love to go elsewhere to have it font but don't think it will make no difference in time frame :(

Are you waiting for the NHS as they do have time scale that they should be working too?

Yeah they told me I would have it done within 12 weeks of the pre op but it's going to be 18-20 as they have bed shortage apparantly

Unfortunately its that time of year for the NHS, also have you heard about the junior doctor strike action next week which will affect short stay units around the UK. I'm waiting to see my consultant again in February to get put on the list of a full hysterectomy plus other things. Good luck, hope all goes well.
