Hello all
My reconstruction has now been cancelled 3 times and I am very upset. I had a mastectomy in September last year and was put forward for my second operation in April this year. June op was cancelled , so was August. I was supposed to attend the pre-op today for reconstruction in 2 weeks time. This was cancelled yesterday.
I understand that I am no longer considered an urgent case, I also know that the NHS has severe funding issues but this is not my problem. I know from experience the importance of a speedy operation after a cancer diagnosis, but feel that I am constantly being pushed to the back of the queue. All I want now is to get on with my life and have some sort of symmetry with my breasts.
I have now made an official complaint to PALS at St Georges and am seriously considering a 2nd opinion at another hospital.
Sorry to be a moaner but has anyone else had a similar problem or can recommend another London hospital.
