It's been delayed to the middle of October. I think 6 weeks is not too bad given the circumstances. Hospitals are clearing the backlog according to my specialist but it will clearly take a while. In London they have shifted the operations and cancer teams to isolated hospitals - in my surgeon's case to a private hospital - while scans and analyses remain within the Trust hospitals. This all seems reasonable given the circumstances.
Thanks for the insight Brent and best of luck with keeping this one at bay - good news on the clear scan last time, fingers crossed.
Backlogs are nothing new and the obvious repercussions from lockdown was the inevitable further backlog. Good to hear that is also getting back to normal.
