A very warm welcome to our forum. I am glad to hear that things are moving quickly for you. It does sometimes feel a bit overwhelming when everything is happening so quickly, but the waiting is such a worry that you'll be glad that it's all over and done with quickly.
Have you been told what type of cancer you have? Place your faith in your care team and get on with your treatment. It's only a few months until you'll be back to normal.
I have had 2 bouts of cancer and have had a lumpectomy, followed by a double mastectomy the following year. That was 13 years ago and I still live a busy and fulfilling life.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

All this uncertainty plays havoc with your imagination. Try to find a pastime or interest that can keep you preoccupied for a time and takes your mind off cancer. Also, try to steer clear of consulting 'Dr Google', as this will only worry you more. Much of the information is poorly researched, out of date and aimed at the more spectacular cases. We all worry about surgery, but it is often the most straightforward part of the whole process.
Have you got a date for surgery next week? I sincerely hope that it all goes well. Please remember, that we are always here for you.
