Hello Gingergirl, 

I wanted to drop by and send you lots of positive waves as you await your mastectomy next week. It will soon all be done and I am sure it will all go well. What bad timing indeed that your husband also had to go through a procedure on Tuesday after cancerous cells were found again. I hope everything went well for him. It must indeed be such a tough time to have to go through this while in lockdown unable to see family and friends. But you're right to try and keep that positive spirit and if you start feeling a little low,  do pick up the phone and ring one of your closest friends for example or if you like video calls, you can also arrange one of those so you can see their faces while talking to them. There are still ways to get in touch with those we love - it's not the same I know but I hope it will help you feel a little bit better on days when you feel it is really hard to cope with anything.  

I hope everything goes well with the mastectomy next week. Don't hesitate to come back here and keep us updated. We're all here for you whenever you need to chat to others who understand how you are feeling at the moment. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
