Coronovirus is all the news is reporting at the moment, it is and will affect a huge number of people in this country. My SIL is in her early 40's with 3 children, last year she discovered she has a brain tumour, unfortunately it's in a delicate area and could damage nerves to her face. After lots of discussion the consultant decided to scan her every six months and check how fast it's growing before reviewing her treatment.
The scan is due to be carried out next week, but it's cancelled because of the virus 
fortunately she was the last patient seen in a private hospital yesterday as this hospital has also now stopped scans.
The family have been shocked that unless you have coronovirus you are being turned away. How long will people have to wait, how long will waiting lists be when they re-open 
I feel sorry for anyone with coronovirus but I don't agree with all other illness being sidelined.
I was due for a hysteroscopy under GA (had one with local anaesthetic in February but too painful to take a biopsy). My first one showed no polyps or fibroids and the lining looked healthy and was only 5mm but they insisted that a biopsy must be done. I had a pre op appointment on March 7th. They rang me with a question on the 19th, just before the lockdown and confirmed that the delay was due to Corona. I have heard nothing since. They did try to ring me yesterday but I missed the call. I tried to ring back but only got a recorded message with no voicemail options.
I am happy to wait a month or so. My bleeding is minimal now. Extremely light and regular once a month like a period. I don't need any protection during the night. I am hoping it will just stop on its own. If I did have it done, I couldn't satisfy their requirement to have someone drive me home and stay with me until the next day because of the current contact/stay in your own home and travel restrictions. I originally planned for a neighbour to collect me and put me up in her house overnight.
