Hi all
I now have a date for right lower lobectomy by VATS. 4th June is d day the day I'm dreading as a single parent to 3 kids their normality is being taken away from them. I have amazing family and friends to ensure my kids are safe and well looked after but it breaks my heart.
But also this date cannot come soon enough to get this tumour out and a definite diagnosis we know it's cancer but we don't know what!
Anyone else having surgery similar time?
Hi Kk123
I'm not a member of this forum but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
Wishing you all the best with your upcoming surgery.
Hi , I had my surgery 4yrs ago , I just want to wish you all the best for yours , thankfully you have amazing relatives and friends to help with you and your kids , not sure of their ages but kids are resilient and will adapt their "normality " , so don't worry too much about them concentrate on getting yourself well .
Take care x
Oh bless you, kk. It's so hard when you've children to think of and such a scary time for you - the waiting can be the worst bit?
So pleased you have such a good support network, that must be very reassuring for you. Remember to look after yourself, too and I wish you the very best xx
I'm due for upper right lobectomy via VATS 20th May, single mum of 4, mostly grown but doesn't stop me fretting either. It all feels a bit surreal, which is possibly a good thing!
