Hi,
I'm recently been diagnosed grade 2 ER +ve, HER2 -ve. I have my mammoplasty tomorrow, and to say it is scaring the hell out of me is an understatement...
I've had ops before - but they didn't seem to feel as enormous as tomorrow does.
It goes without saying that I have to have the op if I want to kick cancer's butt, but I am also scared.
Having been on the mini-pill for 13 years, I know my hormones are all over the place now I have come off it, and that is probably making me more irrational, but is it normal to feel this way?
Could do with some positive vibes to help me get through the next 24 hours...
Hi I’m having an op next Friday, I’ve had ops before but this one scares the hell out of me, I think it’s because this is so sudden that your mind can believe it.
So I think it’s completely normal to feel this way, but just think after tomorrow it will have been removed and you’ll be on the next step to recovery.
Sending positive vibes and happy thoughts
Big hugs for tomorrow
