Morning everyone
First day here and just feeling a little overwhelmed about stuff.
Had surgery Friday so feeling battered, bruised and sorry for myself. Please tell me this is normal?xx
Yes I was like this too. the rush of appointments and getting ready for surgery. it was a big relief when over and felt very emotional. Click my name to read profile. I still have wobble days when I just want to cry. Your hormones/anxiety/stress levels (pick one or all) will be all over the place. but keep going ... one day at a time x
Morning Shirley T
Brilliant that surgery is behind you now . Mine was 8 days ago I'm doing ok . It's all so overwhelmeing but such early days give yourself time to get over the anesthesitc . How you are feeling is so normal you have had a cancer diagnosis and all the tests and now the surgery it's a lot ! Rest . . As much as you can

Aww. I think we know how you feel. I had surgery last Tuesday was doing not too bad and then out of the blue felt really low. I think s lot of it is the unknown between surgery and finding out what’s next. This forum has really helped me and people are so willing to help and support. Hope you feel better soon eek as good as you can in our positions xxx
