I've waited long enough to be put back together!

"I've waited long enough to be put back together!"

About: Glasgow Royal Infirmary / General Surgery (wards 64, 65, 66,& 67)

(as the patient),

Was diagnosed with Breast cancer 2014 went through chemo, mastectomy, radiotherapy. Reconstruction surgery which failed & further breast reconstruction surgery at Glasgow Royal Infirmary June 2016.

Had a follow up appointment this year & further surgery required was advised that it would be 5 months time.

After making contact with consultant secretary have now been advised that there is no date for surgery in near future? ? ? As I am "return patient"

My life has been in limbo for a couple of years now, I just want my surgery to be complete & to feel complete as a woman & move forward with my life.

I've waited long enough to be put back together!

I trust my surgeon  & would prefer that they completed my surgery.

Dear AB254

Thank you for taking the time to post on Care Opinion. I am sorry to read about what you have been experiencing waiting for surgery. I have already shared your post with the Chief Nurse for Regional Services and they would like to look into this further for you. So that we can do that for you, could you please email me at Lisa.Ramsay@ggc.scot.nhs.uk with your name, date of birth, CHI number (not essential) and quoting the reference 389732?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes
Lisa
