    Thanks again [@rileyroo]‍ and [@Jbains]‍ 

    reckon I'm as ready as I'll ever be ( well today anyway:-)

    meanwhile.....

    Just received letter today confirming my outpatient appointment with consultant this will be 10days post op. Says to allow 2-3 hrs for appointment to allow any investigations I require to be performed. So this convo has just took a turn(sorry) - were you's told to allow 2-3 hrs for your follow up appt? 

    Bless ya both my questions just go on don't they!

    take care ladies

    Hi Sandra. My letter said the same but was 2 weeks post op due to certain days are certain clinics. I know anything that seems a certain length of time sounds ominous but it's usually not. They're sending a generic letter for all appts. You will soon be giving your thoughts on your experience very soon. I honestly do feel like I was in a bubble for 5 months and it's now been almost 9 months since I was diagnosed and it has gone very quickly. Let us know how it goes. Take it easy.
