Hi, I was supposed to have my surgery mid September and about 10 days before I got a cold. I started to feel better 2 days before but my surgery still had to be cancelled as my nurse said you have to be free from any infection for over a week as you have to be fully fit for the general anaesthetic. So I had to rearrange and I had my surgery 2 days ago. It might be worth your sister contacting her nurse before x
