Can't sleep have mastectomy opp today xx

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 hope today's surgery went well and that you're not in too much pain.

    I'm having a mastectomy tomorrow. I probably won't sleep much tonight either.

    Whilst I'd remained focused, organising  things preping the house for my return from hospital, sorting things for school etc, today was a hard day. I'm scared.  Scared of surgery although it is a necessity of course, and like you I am worried about my recovery and the impact on my 6 year old. 

    I've read some reassuring posts on here so fingers crossed.

    i wish you a speedy recovery with minimal impact on your family.

    take care.

  • Hi Bluebell

    I had never had any sort of surgery before so was very scared, however your asleep in seconds and next thing you know your awake and it's all over! They'll look after you.
    Remember it's all to get you better and you will get there soon.

    Sending you love and this time tomorrow it'll be done and dusted ️xxx

  • Thank you very much for your note Deedot.

  • Hi bluebell,

    how are you doing? Xx

  • Hi,

     

    thank you for checking up on me. It's very kind of you.
    I'm OK. I stayed one night in hospital and have been slowly recovering at home this week. The pain is manageable with the meds. I've still got limited movement but doing ok. can't complain.

    I've got my follow up appointment tomorrow. I'm a little anxious about the findings but this is out of my control so trying not to think too much about it. 

    Hope everyone is doing ok.

    Xxx

     

  • Hi bluebell

    im so pleased your doing ok, just got to take your time and hopefully the pain will start to subside.

    I'll keep my fingers crossed all goes ok tomorrow for you, but whatever happens, your on the road to recovery now and that's the main thing.

    I have my oncology appointment 23rd so I should be starting chemo soon after that I think...a little nervous but to be expected I guess.

    let me know how you get on tomorrow

    sending love x
