Surgery Friday - getting a tad real now. Any advice gratefully received

  • Hi MackMabel

    Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are having surgery on Friday.  Are you having a lumpectomy or mastectomy?

    Bring something with you to keep yourself occupied as you may have a bit of a wait before going down to surgery.  Also wear something that is easy to put on like a shirt with buttons down the front.

    Wishing you the best of luck with your surgery on Friday.

    Best wishes

    Thank you

    Kindle on charge & button tops purchased - thanks for the tips. I'm having a lumpectomy (horrid word). What is average time before feeling more human?

  • Hi

    hope all goes well. 
    I had my lumpectomy I’m May. Just finished 5 days of radium. On tamoxifen for 10 years done 2 months lol 

    operation went really well. But I have a slight lump underarm I’m getting checked think it may be scar tissue. Otherwise all went very well 

    Fingers crossed Your back home before you know it x
