Ugh, it was too good to be true.

Hospital just called; my operation's been postponed, and they can't even tell me the new date.

I'm so fucking over this bullshit, at every stage in this process something has gone wrong, from failed operations to delays to getting lost in the system. I've been waiting more than SEVEN MONTHS now to have this cancer removed. 

At this point it really feels like I'm going to fucking die waiting.

Very sorry to hear that. I hope it wasn't because of the virus.

Keep calling the hospital to check up on things: gotta regularly remind them.

Thanks; I'm definitely not gonna let them forget about me, trust me! That already happened with the first hospital I was referred to back in August. This time I will be all over them until it's done.

Things actually haven't gotten too bad yet here in terms of COVID-19 cases, but I think what's happened is they are trying to force through as many upcoming surgeries as possible ahead of a predicted influx of COVID patients, and I must've been pushed down the list as less urgent.

My op was scheduled for the 14th, they say they'll try and fit me in the following week but can't make any promises yet.

They could be preparing in case things get worse where you live. But I do hope you have your surgery soon. 

Yeah they are preparing, the state premier openly stated a few weeks back that their intention was to push through surgeries and stuff over the next few weeks to free up resources. I had hoped that would mean mine would be pushed through as well but apparently not.

I didn't know you were battling against this issue until now. First, I am glad that it didn't spread and you are at a point were the tumor can be removed. Second, I am sorry about the fact that your surgery has been postponed, COVID-19 has really changed the world and the established order of our daily lives. It is important that you stay positive and safe. I hope you can get it rescheduled soon, so that you can get rid of the tumor and have peace of mind. My prayers are with you, and you will pull through! You are one of the great posters here. God bless!

Thanks man.
