I'm due to have a lumpectomy and lymph node biosopy on Monday and I'm very scared and anxious as I've never had an operation before and I'm petrified.I've had 18 wks of chemo and it's cleared my tumour so it's the bad area that's coming out and I had 2 lymph node involvement and the chemo looks like it's done its job there as well.just wish I could click fingers and it's all done.it's been a very hard 6 months and having treatment through lockdown was hard as well.
Before I had my op i was very scared but looking back a week on I did well.Everyone involved in my surgery were really good and helped me feel confident.Knowing now what is involved I can reassure you that everything goes ok and I never felt any pain and even coming home the same day and a week on from my op the pain is very minimal if not any pain.I was very surprised how quick the op was I was under for about 2hrs but it felt like seconds when I woke up from being wheeled to theatre.The worse part for me was waiting to go to theatre as I was delayed nearly 6 hrs due to emergency cases but I can reassure you that everything is done quick and even in recovery they make sure you are ok before taking you to a ward for a cup of tea and something to eat.
