Extensive waiting list for surgery

I have been waiting over 12 months for a hysterectomy. I have contacted the hospital to be told that it will be at least another 12 months until I am near the top of the waiting list. I appreciate that other people need the operation more urgently due to life threatening conditions such as cancer but my quality of life and health is being seriously impacted due to my condition, and the thought of waiting another year or longer is very concerning. I am struggling to live my normal daily life and I am also a carer and my condition is seriously affecting my ability to meet the needs of my cared for person.
