Hip replacement

Hi I am post 8yrs since my breast cancer, surgery and treatment. But have now discovered that my left hip is destroyed and I need a hip replacement but during the consultation they notice some thing,  but later they dismissed it. I am now so worried that during the operation they will find something and what will happen to me! Can't stop the thoughts and figuring out different outcomes. Have a very good gp so mental health is improving. But could it be back.  Losing the plot.  Have pre.op in 2 weeks just 5 weeks since 1st appointment. And yes the same side as before. Just feels like de ja vu all over again x

  • Welcome to the forum Erica although I'm sorry for the reason you've joined us.

    Do be sure to discuss the thing they found but was later dismissed with your medical team if it's causing you to worry as they will be able to tell you more and hopefully put your mind at ease.

    Many of our members have been in similar situations so will know how scary a time this can be and now that I've replied I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support.

    Do keep chatting to us here on the forum if you find it helps Erica and good luck for your pre-op in two weeks time.

    Kind regards,
