Having an operation is really scary, especially if you haven't had many in the past.  I suppose one way of looking at it is that there would likely be a worse outcome from not going through with the operation than going through with it .  Your pre op assessment will have indicated you are fit for surgery and your surgeon will have done hundreds of these before .

I have breast cancer and I try not to think too far ahead in terms of the treatment plan ie one step at a time.  So maybe the way you are dealing with it is actually the best way?

Hope it all goes well..

Let us know how you get on

Hi

I'm really sorry to hear of your breast cancer diagnosis. You sound a really positive person and I wish you all the best for the future.

Once I had my revised treatment plan in place I just wanted the operation to take place so I could start my recovery. I trusted the surgeon and medical team would do whatever was necessary and best for me.

Of course it is uncomfortable after the operation but I am feeling a little stronger each day. I even managed to sleep a few hours on my side last night rather than propped up!

For me the whole diagnosis is still surreal. I don't smoke, I'm fit, active, work full time, have lovely children and grandchildren I spend lots of time with.

I am just so thankful mine was found early and was treatable.

If I can help anyone else I'm really happy to do so. I was on a rollercoaster of emotion whilst going through all the tests from January to March.

Very best wishes.
