Hi fellow warriors , I m posting as I am in a bit of a meltdown , and having a panic . I have just got a date for my second surgery , diagnosed in March, lumpectomy didn't remove all and dodgy nodes found under my arm . Just finished chemotherapy and have just got a date for a mastectomy and reconstruction with full axilliary clearance on the 30th November. I only saw surgeon 3 days ago for consultation and got post chemo scan results a week ago. Tho I'm so glad it's happening quickly it's also so scary and is a whirlwind . I have to travel to a different hospital which is a 3 hour ferry trip and 2 hour drive away which is another scary aspect. Has anyone had this surgery , any tips or real advice ! I'd rather be prepared ! Also the reconstruction I'm having is using muscle and skin from my back . Wishing you all well and sending love it's a crazy journey .
