Hi, My surgery is 23rd next week, I feel exactly the same,its a leap I to the unknown. Hope it all goes well fir you xxxx
Rest up for a couple of weeks. You take the outer bandages off after one week and leave paper stitches on another week. If you’re having lymph nodes removed get yourself a small cushion or one goes around your neck when flying. Under the arm is very annoying. You will see the dr in 2 weeks time for the biopsy report. Don’t be alarmed if you need further surgery. It’s just another step. One step at a time does it.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
