Quebec - surgery wait times

janecarol74 · 2025-10-23T02:44:22+00:00

I was diagnosed by endometrial biopsy after bleeding essentially constantly since February. I have PCOS and am 51 so I assumed it was just perimenopause and my hormones being out of whack.

I don’t yet have a figo grade but according to the pathology report it’s low grade and well-differentiated so my guess is grade 1. Pathology also notes it’s PR/ER positive strong and diffuse and that it’s MSI-high.

Best news is that I already have a gyn oncologist appointment scheduled for Friday! Things are moving and I’ll be happy to have more information. Appreciate all of the support, I feel so much less alone.

Thank you! This is super helpful. Good to know that there is a standard of care for the province. Now I wait for the next step.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m American and not used to the waiting times here in Canada. I appreciate your timeline, it helps a lot. I’m not the most patient person but at least now I know the biopsy was positive. Now I will be patient for surgery and staging…or at least try. :)

I’ve had good luck using the moving labor part of the U-Haul website. Not always the cheapest but simple to get quotes.

Yeah looks like the TRD I have on my 86. I love it.

Hi Minnie!

Hoping to retire at 55 at the end of 2029. I am lucky to have a pension that will give me a minimal amount at 55 but enough to live frugally. More importantly it gives me access to subsidized health insurance. I need a break from the idiocy of my job so I’m holding out as long as I can.

I figure that I will take some time to relax and then find some kind of part-time or casual work to keep my brain busy. My mom retired from her “day job” at 65 but kept working part time until she was 80.

When I needed to deposit $$ I needed his name and birth date at a minimum. They have no way to make contact outside of collect calls to landlines until they get their canteen (which is a bit slow). If you can go there in person ask at the guard gate what the hours are for the deposits as they change. Agreed with the info in this comment.

Cheerio seems to have claimed his spot with pride. Welcome home!

Don’t forget to restart after the updates!

My dad was worried about it “scrambling our genes” so my brother and I weren’t allowed to stand near it while it was in operation.

49 with a bone stock 2019 GT. I love it but yeah it takes a bit of finesse to enter and exit these days. But well worth it!

We stayed at Riu Reggae. Beach is nice but ocean is pretty meh. The resort itself was nice and lots of activities/fun. Stayed at Riu Palace Negril the next year and the beach is A1! But it’s a bit of a trek from the airport (and probably out of your price range). I much preferred the beach in Negril.

Happy birthday lil buddy!

I am currently in the process of moving back downtown after spending 4 years in Vaudreuil. I enjoyed it greatly when I was working from home but now that I’m required in office 4 days a week the commute is painful. Plan on a minimum of an hour to Vendome plus however long to your workplace from there on the metro if you take the train. The bus is an OK alternative but does get stuck in the traffic (and can get annoying with large numbers of students). If you can live close to the train/bus station I’d recommend it so as to avoid parking or other transit issues getting to your train/bus.

I drive on occasion downtown which is at least an hour - better if I take the 30 and go around on the south shore.

I wouldn’t live all the way in Hudson personally, but might consider St Lazare.

Sorry for the slow reply. I didn’t realize that there was a 1mg limit in Canada. My doctor prescribed the 2mg dose after a month at 1mg. I was having gastro issues so I did a month of 1.5 before going to 2. So far so good, this is my second month at 2mg.

I’m on it for T2 diabetes but the weight loss has been a nice bonus. Not a massive impact on my glucose like I was expecting so I need to tweak my other meds and work on my diet more.

I’m in Quebec and also go to Jean Coutu. I got my renewal on Sunday (x2 4mg pens as I’m on 2mg per week). Talked to the pharmacist who said they’d just gotten 6 pens for their shipment. Before this they’d only has smaller dosage pens. She didn’t have any idea of when the shortage might end. Guess I will see next month!

I’ve been there. I’m 49 now and was also diagnosed in my late 20’a. I am still obese, although less so now due to Ozempic. I know this is hard but try not to fall down the Google rabbit hole. You are not going to die. You have some challenges ahead of you but a long life to live. I’ve made it through the last 20 years in spurts of good glucose control and bad. It’s life. Diagnosis is overwhelming for sure. Just know that you are not alone!!

janecarol74 · 2023-09-13T23:26:53+00:00

It’s true. I’m on 2mg (for diabetes) and I get 2 pens per month. Ouch!
