Hi Bupy and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that your surgery has been postponed because your blood pressure was too high. I know what a worrying time waiting for surgery can be.
I can see that you've already found and joined the breast cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support. When you're ready to post there just click on the link I've created which will take you straight there.
When you have a minute it would be great if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
