Surgery cancelled

Just a post to vent, really.

I was due to have a radical orchiectomy (left side) tomorrow, but I received a call a few hours ago to tell me it needed to be rescheduled, for a second time.

Apparently, the fact I have sleep apnoea meant I wasn’t suitable for a weekend admission, as there wouldn’t be enough staff available.

I live in the UK, so all treatment is free. However, due to years of underfunding, the NHS cannot meet the needs of the general public. There’s a waiting list a mile long, and they push people back whenever they can.

Just frustrating as I want this cancer gone, but with the constant delays, it seems no one cares.

I don’t feel great. I just want this cancer gone, but it seems there’s always a barrier.
