Hi,

I am scheduled to have mastectomy tomorrow  and was just wondering if anyone had a cold at the point of their surgery, and if this stopped their surgery or it still went ahead? Have spoken to the surgeon who says it is the anaethtists decision on the day.  Can't get myself geared up for having surgery tomorrow as too worried it will be cancelled.  

  • I have had surgery before with a cold and cough. I was certain operation would not go ahead but it did. If it is just a cold I think you will be fine. Good luck.

  • Ah that's reassuring to know!  Hopefully will all go ahead fine.  Thanks for replying :)
