Surgery cancelled

[TereseBear]

Has anyone else had their surgery’s cancelled? Mine for a Laparoscopy and polyp removal booked for May was cancelled yesterday. I understand but had a little cry. I was lucky enough to get this booked so soon anyway. I had a initial consultation booked for April but got a cancellation in March so was already ahead but now I’m just wondering when this will all be done. And I feel guilty for feeling upset cos I know it’s not important only to me.

Don’t feel guilty, it’s a normal reaction after waiting and psyching yourself up. Hopefully it won’t be too long and you’ll be high on the list.

Take care

All surgeries that aren’t literally life or death have been ordered to be cancelled in the UK because of the Coronavirus. It’s going to be quite a long wait, I’d expect several months at least.

I know it’s devastating. I’m waiting for surgery too and my endo pain is getting worse. I’m trying to cling on to the fact that this is the right thing to save lives, all the NHS’s resources going to where it’s needed most, but it’s still hard. Massive hugs.

I’m thinking that I wouldn’t wanna be at the hospital even in May anyway. Not the best place is it. Would rather go when hopefully things are running normally. Even if that is months away. I think just hearing that it was cancelled was initially upsetting. It was gonna be a diagnostic Lap and polyp removal at the same time. I had a failed Hycosy scan that picked up this polyp so I need it all sorting and then hopefully I can start fertility treatments.
