I have been directed to this group. On June 14 my sister was told she had cancer of the uterus,

7. I understand your concern.

My husband just finished radiation for prostate cancer and it getting everything worked out and set up took WAY longer than we expected. Your sister has cancer of several organs and that complicates things, perhaps more than one surgeon may have to be involved. Hospitals are suffering staffing shortages and medication shortages and very high demands for availability.

Hopefully, the delay you feel will not affect her outcome. You also need to know that after surgery, there will probably be a tumor conference. Once they have the information from surgery, a team made up of surgeons, oncologists, radiologists and probably more discuss the best plan of treatment for each patient. I was an RN when I was diagnosed with cancer and somehow could not imagine those strangers discussing what was best for me. It has been 11 years, so I guess they were correct.

Will keep all of you in my thoughts.
