So sorry it was cancelled . My op was cancelled on the day twice , 3 months apart - so annoying when I’d made childcare plans and my husband taken holiday to care for disabled daughter . I was told NHS hospital gets fined if cancelled a 3rd time so usually goes ahead then as mine did. Hope you get a new date soon .

Had mine out via keyhole. Pretty OK to be fair. Minor discomfort & spasms for a few days afterwards but quick recovery overall & no issues since....sweet relief!!

Aw that’s a bummer about the cancellation! Hope it is rescheduled soon.

It was 8mm in Sept 22 and by Feb 23 had grown to 10mm. They haven't done a scan since then.
I'm interested that they want to operate at 2mm, they told me it had to be 10, but we are probably in different parts of the country. I am in Yorkshire.

I believe over 10mm and there's a tiny bit of a possibility it could go to cancer. But tiny.

It was because it was causing me so much discomfort so they said they would take it out xx
dont know how a tiny 2mm pollop would cause it but hey ho the docs know best haha xx
