Hi everyone xx

I'm new to the group I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and have surgery next Wednesday

I'm going through alot of emotions with alot to deal with including appointments, family and work. I have not really had the time to let it all sink in. I kinda feel like I'm missing something or like I've not dealt with the shock and I've got the surgery soon. I am happy to be here and I feel safe and at home.

Hi and welcome. Are you having a mastectomy or lumpectomy? I was similarly in shock, feels surreal, it goes quickly but at the same time slowly whilst waiting for operations, treatment etc.

I also feel safe when I’m at home, especially at weekends when I can’t be touched with phone calls and appointments!

I hope you are ok, happy to answer any questions if you are having a mastectomy as that is what I had.
