Day case op advice

Hi

I have my daycase op next week for lumpectomy and sentinel node extraction.

Wondering what if anything I need to take in with me. The booklet I received just says book to read and toiletries.

Anyone been in for similar that has words of wisdom of anything else would be appreciated

thanks

  • Hi Sandra. 

     

    Guessing you've had op by now. Hope it went well. 

  • Hi Sandra. How are you feeling?

  • Hi jbains

    thank you so much for keeping in touch:-)

    I seem to have settled down. I think I was focusing on the practicalities of getting prepped for the op rather than the op itself (probably cos it was the only thing I felt I had some control over). 

    It's my op tomorrow (I don't know time but it is in the afternoon). 

    When I was at hosp last week for seeds to be put in I met another lady having hers put in for her op - on the same day as me -so we parted saying see you on Thursday. 

    So...bag with dressing gown,  slippers and a couple of toiletries at the ready to have charged kindle, purse and phone added. (Eee all those questions to boil down t that eh- my thanks to you and [@rileyroo]‍ for your patience).

    I will of course let you know how I get on. 

    How are things with you? I have been so wrapped up in myself I have not asked- sorry.

    keep well in mind and body.

    take care Sandra x
