"complete mix-up with regards administration,"

From beginning to end i was treated extremely well, the nurses and staff really kind and helpful, with regards to my treatment for breast cancer.

but after deciding to have a mastectomy instead of a lumpectomy it all went wrong. On the day of my operation the whole surgical department was under the impression I was having a lumpectomy, there was not one person , from nurses to the actual surgeon, that had been informed of my decision.. All of the paperwork consisted of my having a lumpectomy. So on the day of my operation i sat there for hours upon end while the schedule for the operation was altered.

7 hours of waiting. i was extremely stressed by this time, and had to really stand my ground to persuade the surgeon that I wanted a mastectomy and told him it had been agreed by the breast care centre 10 days previously.

why then had no one in the surgical department been informed of this.

It was really upsetting to treat me like this, and give me 100% stress on the day of my operation.
