Morning.
So im new to all this, I’m 43 and yesterday have been told VIN3 and possibly cancer. The biopsy results apparently weren’t taken deep enough so I won’t find out if it’s cancer until after surgery and that’s been sent off but in the words of consultant “ooo I don’t like the look of that” so not feeling incredibly hopeful.
My surgery is booked for 21st of September and I was wondering if any of you could tell me how the recovery is? How it looks? how painful? How long until your back up to normality?
thank you xx
