I hope you're not still awake to read this, , but I just want to wish you good luck with your surgery.

I hope you have managed to drop off to sleep by now! Wanted to wish you all the best for your surgery! LP has asked if he can pop along with you so that you have a hand to hold, going into the unknown is always scary! But I promise you the surgery won’t be anywhere near as bad as you are picturing it! Just remember when you wake up from the surgery you will hopefully be Cancer free!!
Take Care Hun. Remember the Fruit Loops are with you every step of the way! Xxxx
Good luck! Remember that the anaesterhic makes you constipated so ask for medication for it as soon as you are able to eat! Good luck! Xxx
Northerner WELL DONE you on getting through your last Chemo! I know you have Herceptin to get through, but that will hopefully be a doddle compared to Chemo! Time to put your feet up and rest and relax as much as you can, so that you can hopefully enjoy Christmas!
Time to celebrate the end of Chemo! You did it Hun! You did it! Xxxxxx
As I'm still awake I may as well say Good Luck to . Sorry to hear you have been unwell but pleased to hear you are feeling better.
Now I mentioned to LP about going with you today and asked if he would wear his Santa hat...BUT....he didn't want to!!!!
Because he's already decided he wants to be Rudolph.....
Apparently Rudolph is the most important animal, because without him Santa wouldn't of been able to find his way! So sorry Hun, but you'll have to enjoy the company of LP the red nosed reindeer!!!! Hope he behaves! Good Luck Hun!! Xxxx
Dear Holbox123, Ihope you managed to get some sleep. I had my mastectomy on Dec 5th so 2 weeks ago today. I ended up going into surgery quite serene, thanks to the professionalism of the team and their reassurance. I wanted to teleport myself a week ahead and it certainly was a better place to be, once I got there. Wishing you all the very best and hope to hear from you, once you too are on the other side. Xx
Wishing those that have treatment, surgery and appointments today good luck.
Have a good day everyone if you can, those that are feeling unwell, hope things improve soon. Xxx
