hi bcrsally i two-was diagnosed with breast cancer in November and was booked in to have a op on the 4/1 for a lumpectomy following radiotherapy  mom New Year’s Day I was called by the breast nurse to say my surgery was cancelled due to the high rise in covid resulting in no beds  I was devastated  she couldn’t tell me when my op would be  on the 4th jan the consultant called me and told me I would be given letrozole which I have been on a week now apoke to the breast nurse last week and she told me that they will get me in soon as they can which don’t help me mentally she also said she hope to have more information on the of in a couple of week  so your answer to how long we have to wait is when the COVID lessens in hospital and we can finally have our op I am suffering with anxiety as at the moment that is what my life is all about with this hanging over me  I hope your op does not get cancelled 🙏 it’s still a few weeks weeks yet and hopefully more bed will become available  sending positive thoughts and hugs ❤️     ...
