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.

Hiya,
Its only natural to be scared, I was very scared to say the least when I was diagnosed. Considering Im a nurse I didnt deal with it very well, but I forgive myself. It is a very daunting thing having major surgery, but you WILL come through it. Its also easy for the negative thoughts to overwhelme you, but try and push them to one side and say to yourself I can do this and I will do this and I will come out the otherside. There are alot of unknowns in this world of cancer, but we have to put one foot infront of the other and carry on, remember you are not alone in all this. Good luck for Monday and I too will be thinking of you. Best Wishes Ruthxx
Sorry you are still waitinf for your MRI results - its just waiting waiting waiting.
Hoping not to be in hospital too long - got new jamas though - and new dressing gown and have bought myself some sweeties and other food grub in case I dont like their food!
Hope to be back on line ver soon - and I need to get out of hospital as I have a hair appointment on Friday!!!!
Its great to get feedback from lovely people like yourself - who are really positive and I need a shove in the right direction.
Gosh it really must have been difficult for you being a nurse - you would know all the terms etc and know what the possible outcomes could be.
I used to be a Medical secretary years ago and then later worked for the Psychiatrists and Psychologists - so feel I could counsel others but unable to cousel myself - if that makes sense.
(Used to go to the docs and tell him what was wrong with me and what drugs I needed - he was usually three sheets to the wind - had his hip flask in his desk drawer!!!!!)
