Hi PollyG

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. There is no right or wrong way to react to a cancer diagnosis so what you are feeling is perfectly normal. 

Wishing you the best of luck with your operation.

Best wishes

As Daisy says, there’s no right or wrong way to feel, everyone reacts in the way that’s right for them. 

I wasn’t worried about my operation either. Whilst it was the first for breast cancer it wasn’t the first operation I’ve had, so I had some familiarity with the general process which helped. I was worried about them getting clear margins (they did) and what the sentinel node biopsy would find, but for the actual operation I had faith in the team looking after me. 

Thanks Daisy53, I'll try to remember that, and not feel 'wrong'.

Hi CarrieDecember

I think I'm more worried about the fact that I throw up after general anaesthetics than about the op! Thanks for your reply, I feel better about it now.
