I will point out that it wasn't just the one person I made room for. They said their office had been overwhelmed with breast cancer cases at this time. Obviously I wasn't the only one they contacted with a request to give up operating room time. As said by Crabby it is good to hear that serious cases are given high priority and as a result good treatments are occurring.

I consider myself fortunate to have gone 50 years since the last time I had to go under the knife and this for only a minor matter. Thanks for the comments.
