4th degree tear rectovaginal fistula

Hi all, so I’m 14 weeks postpartum and had a 4th degree year with my first baby due to a forceps birth. However around the 7 week mark I noticed I was having a weird discharge and it ended up to be faeces. I spoke to my gynaecologist about this and they sent me for an MRI on the 2nd September. I had my results today and I have a rectovaginal fistula. Meaning Faeces is coming through into my vagina, this started off as just small discharge but I’m now getting full on faeces. Can I ask has anyone else experienced this? I’ve been told it’s a 12 month wait just to see someone before any repair can be done. My mental health is in the gutter right now.
