Surgery in 3 days

Hi Kdramalover, I haven’t had that experience, I have surgery in June, and I know you have only been diagnosed 2 weeks ago, and the stress of that is enough, if I were you I would take Tuesday, the sooner the better and you can start your road to recovery, get some cold sore treatment, it’s usually works quite quickly ... wishing you all the best x

Thank you Crawler, everything is moving so fast which is good as there is not too much time to dwell. I have had the pre admissions and covid test today. I have the isotope injection on Monday, which I have been told could turn me into a bit of an Alien. I will have the surgery if I can, just worried it might get put off.

Go for it I had mastectomy 8 days after diagnosis  final decision made on Tuesday op on Thursday  

Can laugh now was a whirlwind at the time . Just get some cold sore cream . The op is not as bad imagination tells you

more discomfort than pain .

Hello 

Thank you so much for your support. I was worried about the cold sores. Not sure what the protocols are due to the anaesthesia masks and so on. I now have 2, probably getting more stressed. How are you now? Are you well?

Hi there - I haven’t experienced cold sores but I defo get stressed! I doubt they’ll hamper your surgery but you could call your nurse just to check. All the oxygen masks etc are single use anyway. I didn’t get asked about cold sores pre op so wasn’t something I was aware of. I experienced a mastectomy just over 8 weeks ago. Journey so far is on my profile. Please don’t be terrified, easier said than done I know, I was more terrified of not getting surgery and couldn’t wait for my op. I was relieved when the day came. I hope everything goes well for you and your final pathology is favourable x x x.  

I had cold sores before my first op, they said it wouldn't be a problem x

Thank you. I'm having a mastectomy and sentinel lymph nodes biopsy. Everyone around me keep saying that it is good that it is happening so quickly. I was first referred on the 17th March so it has been less than two months. I am very grateful to be treated so quickly as waiting for many cancer treatments at this moment in time is so difficult for many other people. 

I think I a little scared that something will occur to delay things. How are you? I hope you are well x

Thank you Bob it, you have helped me relax alittle. X
