I am so dis heartened at moment. I have endeometreosis and went in for lap full hysterectomy on 18/12/17. When surgeons went in they found it was too risky to carry it out because everything is stuck together and now needs to be done under a specialist team so booked me back in for abdo hysterectomy on 19/01/2018. I receivef a call friday and due to bed shortage its now been cancelled till 16/02/2018. I am mortified, i got myself syked up and now have to wait again. I have been on prostap injections for a year now and consultant has extended them now till surgery. Has anyone else been cancelled ? X

    Hi Lynn.1972,  I am due to go in on Friday for full hysterectomy . I haven't  been cancelled yet but there is still time I know , I too will be gutted to say the least as I have worked myself up and tried to get things at work and home in order for Friday but I've got a feeling I could be cancelled because of the bed situation here in Staffordshire I am just praying it will go ahead I will keep you posted  I feel for you Lynn as I know what a let down it must be for you .xx
