Hi ladies! After eleven weeks of waiting and going through the processes, I have finally got my date for my surgery! It was a bit of a shocker and short notice as I got a call today asking if I was free tomorrow! Fortunately, my boss is very understanding and was very supportive in me going off like this. So I accepted the appointment and I go in tomorrow at 7:30am....

I am can't tell you how nervous I am!!! I have never had any kind of surgery before so I don't even know what to expect!! I've been in today for bloods and a couple of forms (no consent form yet though) Does anyone have any tips? Tonight I am mostly packing my bag and getting things organised, trying not to get myself in too much of a tiff and praying that you lovely ladies that are still waiting get your dates soon!

Any advice is greatly welcomed from a very freaked out lady!

Can't wait for this time tomorrow when I am in recovery and finally rid of this horrid cyst!

xx

    Hi I have a 22cm ovarian cyst it's a solid mass on my left ovary. My doctor advised me that it would be best to remove both ovaries and Fallopian tubes any advise would be great. I'm terrified of the after effects of menopause.
