You just keep pestering it seems they dont care about us little people! Hope your not feeling too down will keep my fingers crossed that you hear something soon. Keep me posted have a lovely easter.

Hi Helen,
I was thinking that myself, she must work 4 weeks and have the other 48 off!!! I did say to my friends when the op was first cancelled that I bet she had gone to Australia for 3 months - wish I’d kept my trap shut now!!
I will definately let you know when the op is rescheduled, I am beginning to think that it never will be though.
Enjoy the rest of the Easter break,
Tracy xxx
HI
Sorry to here about your op cancellation.Happened to me before xmas08. waited all day for the op then cancelled at the end of the day , was really upset as I was looking forward to it!!!(had a mastectomy in 07) and had made all my arrangments with work. I had to wait two weeks to before I had another date , and finally had a becks inplant in Jan09.
The hospital have a target to do the op within 28 days of the cancelled date , if they cancel you ,so you wont go to the bottom of the list.
I agreed with your friend PALS can be very helpful if you get nowhere this week. I wish you all the best and hope you have a date for your op very soon
best wishes

Ladyinpink - you have made me feel a lot better and more optimistic that I will have a new boob by the summer - Thankyou so much!! It is so annoying when you wait all day and then get cancelled, as I said in my previous posts, I haven’t heard a dickiebird since it was cancelled (only via my BC nurse, nothing official) and am getting quite frustrated not being able to get in touch with the PS’s secretary. Luckily, I am off work until Thursday so I can call again on Tuesday, if I get no joy I will definately be giving PALS a call!
Thanks again for your message and enjoy the rest of the long weekend,
Regards, Tracy xxx
I managed to speak to the PS’s secretary today and she is looking into it for me. She said it should be very soon and would any particular time be more convenient for me, I have said I would take a cancellation if poss and can come in at short notice - so let’s hope it actually goes ahead soon. I do feel a lot better now, at least I know I have not been forgotten!
Brilliant news Tracy.
Cheers

Thanks Anne, Good luck for your op - not long now!!! I’ll be thinking of you. xxx
That fantastic news Tracy so pleased for you. You seem a lot happier. keep in touch Helen xxx
Hi Helen, I am a lot happier that I haven’t been forgotten. I bumped into a neighbour this morning who asked if I’d heard and when I told him he said ‘Well they’ll tell you anything to keep you quiet’ which made me feel a bit deflated, but then I thought what does he know? Next time I see him coming towards me I shall cross the road! xx
What a horrible man!! xx
I have just been sent a new date for my recon and it is June 17th, 3 months after the original one (March 17th). I was quite angry at first that I have to wait another 8 weeks. But having given it some thought I think it may turn out to be the best time, I would have finished my Herceptin by then, it will give me time to put on some weight and - hopefully - I will be able to enjoy having a couple of months off over Summer!
Please keep your fingers crossed that it won’t get cancelled for a second time as I think I will just give up if it is!!!
Best wishes to you all,
Tracy xxx
Thats great news Tracy, so pleased for you,I also got my date for 4th june but didn’t want to tell you till you got yours! Surely they wont dare to cancel you again!! We have both got something to look forward to in June wont be long now keep in touch Helenxx
Hi Tracy
Nice one Tracy, at last you have a date. Have done another posting about my very recent diep, but am sooooo very pleased with the outcome and now “resting” at home so will be on here quite often I would expect.
You putting weight on? does that mean you may have diep aswell?
Cheers

Oh Helen, That is so considerate of you - I am glad you are having your op in June as well, we can compare notes!!! Let’s hope we have a decent summer to recooperate in!!
Anne, I am now in a quandry as to whether to have a DIEP after all, as I dread having to go back for another op to remove expander implants knowing it might be cancelled! But it all boils down to what Mr. Dewulski says I suppose. I have to have another bloomin’ pre-med assessement on the 26th May, hopefully he will be available as he wasn’t in clinic when I had the last one.
Hope you both have lovely weekends,
Traacy xxx
Hi tracey, just wondered how you are? Its getting closer now for us both!! My pre op is a week on thursday. God this past couple of weeks has gone so slow would be nice to have abit of sunshine! Im looking forward to wearing a nice little vest top maybe without a bra!! Hope you’ve had a nice weekend. Helenxx
Hi Helen,
Sorry for not replying sooner, I haven’t been on the site for a few days. I’m not too bad, working like a trojan at the moment though as we are having some refurbishments where I work.
My pre-op is on the 26th of this month, I’m getting a bit anxious not so much about the actual op but of the chance that it may be cancelled again - I will believe it has been done when I wake up in recovery with the dressings on!!
I have been looking at some lovely summery dresses and thinking that I’ll be able to wear them again soon (hopefully) - I just need a good fake tan now, can’t rely on the sun for a real one!
Tracy xxx
Hi Tracy glad your ok, I am feeling abit the same way as my friend just had her appointment cancelled in june to see the ps so really hope he is not going to cancel his ops in june too!!
When you have had your op you can get down to some serious retail therapy! no more looking for the high neck dresses how great will that be! Take care Helenxx
Hi Helen,
Sorry to hear about your friends appt being cancelled, it’s so frustrating! I hope she gets a new one soon and doesn’t have to wait ages.
I work as a visual merchandiser (new name for window dresser!) in a big department store so I have temptation thrust at me all day!! I have started eyeing up the nice bra’s already!
Have a lovely weekend, fingers crossed for decent weather.
Tracy xx
Hi Tracy, That is a very difficult but rewarding job, I have worked in retail most of my life so i know how tempting it can be!!
I rang ps secretary today just to double check and all seems to be going ahead.
Have a lovely weekend speak soon. Helenxx
Went for my second pre-med today, it took me about 30 minutes to find a parking space at the other side of the hospital grounds then discovered I didn’t have enough change for the ticket machine - I finally got to the clinic, soaking wet, with about 2 minutes to spare. All in all a very stressful experience.
Have decided to go with the LD flap with implant but if they cancel me again I will not have it done, I can’t take anxiety of it all!!!
