Here I am again - a jibbering idiot.
Very scared and frightened about Monday. Op planned for Monday 24th August - both breasts.
Hate hospitals , frightened of needles and I woke last night in a hot sweat - thinking I am sure they have not told me everything and that they know more than I do.
I feel they that see me as a very anxious person and therefore they have opted no tto tell me everything. My breast care nurse is now on holiday for two weeks as well.
No one seems to give me any positive feedback - may be they can't in case they get sued.
I am definitely a very sad Negative Nellie today.

we r all here supportin u ...dont forget!
which reminds me ......pyjamas ....stop worrying on your op and concentrate on keeping them jamas up!
Try not to be scared, it is never as bad as you imagine. I am phobic about hospitals, needles, tubes especially. They know at the hospital so they let me go in 1 hour before the op but the surgeon had to come to reception to get me and I couldn't go into theatre without my husband. They did all they could to make me feel better but I have honestly never been so terrified of anything in my life. It was the building as much as anything. Anyway I am telling you this because I want you to know that even I could cope. I know I will never be that scared again. They can always give you something to help if you ask.
I think anyone who has an op is very brave and you will be congratulating yourself on Tuesday.
I know you are scared we all were when we were facing surgery.
My surgeon came to see me prior to surgery and asked how I was feeling.
I said petrified. Told him to make it pretty.
The hardest part is the waiting to go down to the theatre. My partner and son were with me but I told them to go once the surgeon had been because I did not want to see them upset.
They had the hardest job waiting for me to come back.
You will be fine. You have all of us thinking about you.
Just a little note to let you know we are all thinking of you. It is a scarey time but as the other ladies have said you will get through it and it will be Tuesday before you know it.
Button through jim jam tops are the easiest.
When you are at the hospital remember everyone on here will be waiting in anticipation for your return to welcome you with gentle hugs.
Good luck for Monday, I am sure everything will be fine. Only two more sleeps. Lol.
I know the feeling of not being told everything, my MRI results still aren't back, (I looked today, tut tut!) and I am sure they haven't put them on the computer as there is something awful in them and they don't want me to see! Imagination can be an awful thing.
Hope to see you back on here soon feeling a lot more positive and ready to face the journey ahead.
Good luck once again, take care. Lots of love and hugs, Debbie. xx
