Waiting for hysterectomy - been waiting since February. I'm worried about how long I've had to wait. Has anyone had this surgery and was it successful?

I have pre-cancerous cells, diagnosed last December. I had a leetz procedure in December I was told I have no clear markers. In February I went in hospital for the same procedure but under general anaesthetic. It didn’t work as they told me I had no cervix left. I’ve now been on the waiting list since February for a full hysterectomy. 
it keeps getting pushed back . I feel so worried waiting this long. 
mu annual smear test has come up and I’ve been told I have to have it?  Seems strange as I already have a diagnosis. 

Im seriously considering going private. 
Has anyone else had to wait along time for surgery, and was it successful ?

Ive had my life on hold all year waiting for the call . 

  • Hello Suzybig and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear your second LLETZ procedure was unsuccessful and you've been anxiously waiting for a hysterectomy since February.

    This must be incredibly frustrating, especially as it keeps getting pushed back, but I and the rest of the Cancer Chat community will have our fingers crossed that this won't happen again and you'll get a date for your surgery through soon.

    You can find out more about having a hysterectomy on our website but if you'd like to discuss any of the questions or concerns you've raised in this post with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to help.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had a hysterectomy will share their experiences and advice with you soon as well.

    Kind regards,
