I was diagnosed with HNPCC (lynch syndrome) in 2003 and have been asking for a full historectomy since then, after repeated referrals from my GP I was eventually seen on 6th June 2023 only to be told I should have had it 20years ago and now the waiting list is 3 years minimum so will be nearly 60 I'm in hospital repeatedly with other Conditions and any time I ask I'm told oh its nothing to worry about and spoke to like a child how the hell am I supposed to trust them now
