Hello all,
I'm new here posting although I have been reading posts for a couple of weeks.
I have Stage 1/ Grade 1a cancer and have been pretty upbeat about it all until my pre op phone call today with the anaesthetist. It was the first time that anyone mentioned the possibility of an open op and that now seems like a more likely option for me. I had been banking on a laparoscopic surgery if only for the quicker recovery time. Im disabled and my mobility isnt great and it just seemed like i could cope more easily with that style of surgery.
Now Im faced with the alternative and finding it hard to find any positive vibes at all. That's so not like me.
So I thought it was time I joined, introduced myself and hopefully hear that the open surgery is not the big bad monster I fear.
