I've got my axillary node clearance surgery tomorrow. Waved kids off to school this morning, won't now see them until i get out of hospital. Nurse said to expect to stay in overnight, so hopefully I'll be ok to come home Thursday.
When i had my first surgery i was so worried that i might not come round from the anaesthetic and what if i never see my kids again? The relief when i woke up was huge - that felt like my biggest hurdle. And now to do it all again.
I'm really worried about what life with the possibility of lymphedema might look like. On the positive side, I guess it diverts me from thinking about the cancer!
