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

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
