Since my last post I had to go to A&E three times due to unbearable pain. They did and emergency scan and found the cyst that was 6cm has grown to 9cm and the 2 cyst that was 4cm is now 6cm. They gave me prostap injections for 3 months which has got my rations all over the place with no difference on the pain (which I was already informed about), but now I feel el like my depression is back and I am finding it hard to do anything. It’d have if somewhat negative impact on my daily life. Yesterday I had an MRI examination done and they said the result will be given in 3-4 weeks, my pre-assessment was done on 14th September.
I just wanted to ask if anybody might roughly know how long I may have to wait for the surgery date.
Thank you in advance !

It sounds like you've really been through the wars recently! Sending warmth your way. Currently, surgery dates tend to be delayed due to the pandemic. In my local hospital, the wait is currently 10-12 months, but it varies from hospital to hospital. The best thing would be to contact your hospital and find out from them.
In the meantime, if you'd like some emotional support - because you're going through a lot! - we do have a helpline which is run by people who have endo. You can see our current rota here: endometriosis-uk.org/helpline
Hope you get some answers with regards to your surgery date really soon. The community is here for you, take care.
