"Lack of information about hysterectomy next week"

About: Princess Royal University Hospital / Gynaecology

(as a service user),

I have been on the excellent 2 week cancer pathway after a post menopausal vaginal bleed. MRI, ultrasound and CAT Scans done  - bleed not serious but ovarian cyst located.

Signed off from oncology but booked in for full hysterectomy next week. Feel totally overwhelmed. Operation hasn’t been talked over or explained and all my info has come from Google!  

Would have been so good to have face to face chat with team to go through what is going to happen next week …..
