Surgery tomorrow

Fingers crossed for you @Potter_21. I had my surgery here on NSW Central Coast, in the Public System. It was day surgery and all went smoothly. We have a first class health system and I'm sure you too will be well cared for, wherever you are. Post surgery, make sure you take the pain medication provided. I also had an ice pack. It's also important to follow the post surgery exercises you'll be instructed about. You'll be OK.  :)

Good luck @Potter_21! Hope it all goes well, and you get great results 🤞🍀

Welcome to the Club, @Potter_21 - it is not the club you 'wanted to join' .... but like us, here you are!  Here, you'll get honest advice on every subject - big & small.  Don't be afraid to ask about ANYTHING!!  No subject is too big or too small. xx

All the best for tomorrow  ....  a small cushion/pillow helps with supporting your arm after surgery & in the car on the way home!  (Any bump is rather exaggerated in the early days!). Hugging the cushion helps prevent the vibrations/pain!

As @Dory65 said - make sure you take the pain meds (whether you think you need it or not) and it will help your recovery.  

Take care & all the best for your pathology results xx

All the best @Potter_21. Hope you get some good results 🤞Great you are getting the surgery so quickly.Don’t be nervous about the surgery itself x 

Thinking of you 🌺. Best wishes 

Hoping that you're starting to feel a tiny bit better, but know that the next anxious wait is just starting. Thinking of you🤞🤞🤞

Dear @Potter_21,

from jennyss in Western NSW

Hope all goes well for you.

Thanks for all your well wishes. The surgery went well with 2 lymph nodes removed along with the lump. Now waiting on the results. 

@Potter_21 So glad all went well. It is hard waiting for the results but take comfort in the fact that the surgery is done & went well. I had DCIS of the left breast Dec '17 & had a lumpectomy too. I am fully recovered now so praying that you will have the same outcome. love & hugs xx
