I just can't sleep, I'm feeling positive about the outcome of having the surgery,I'm very worried about when I get home to my 5 beautiful children,I have very little support, and so worried about my recovery and not being able to do what mum's do, which is everything! I'm hoping my older children will understand and start helping out a little more!! It's the unknown of what is ahead, I have no idea, hope everyone is as well as they can be, Lindsay xx

    Hi Lindsay

    I had a mastectomy just over a year ago and actually it was OK.  Not too painful at all. Just remember no heavy lifting , and do the exercises they give you once you ve had your drains out and follow up appointment. The worst for me was no driving , but slow gentle walks daily are perfect. Wishing you a speedy recovery xx
