So my surgery day has arrived.
I don't no how to feel ,I've hardly slept a wink I found myself scrubbing the bathroom at 3am then writing a letter to my children .. I guess I was trying to distract my mind of what lays ahead of me today ..Mixed emotions the last few weeks since diagnosis has been crazy ..I'm usually a strong person but will admit this has blown that right out of the water for me ..
I no you ladies have been here and or are still going through it also and to have you all here to read your stories and to no we are all fighting this battle together and support each other is truely amazing..
Well I guess all I can do now is to meet this bitch of a cancer head on and to show it who's the boss ..I want it out and gone but I'm terrified of what my body is going to look like when I wake up later today ..
Please keep me in your prayers today and  let's all kick this cancers arse together
Sending love 💕💕💕

    You will be fine. Trust the surgery team as everything is in their hands. I had my surgery 5 days ago and everything is going well with recovery. Best wishes.

    Hi @kyles1
    I remember my madtectomy  3 years ago so clearly!
    Even though my breast cancer surgeon was amazingly experienced and very well recommended my anxiety was through the roof.
    I had a lot of pain and had to take heavy duty painkillers for a number of weeks but  it all worked out in the end.
    Take it easy and take the pain meds if you need them.
    also it’s standard to feel emotional and have a good cry .
    take care 🌺

    Hi @kyles1 All over with by now. Time to rest. The scar you now have is your show of strength and resilience. You got that little devil and won. Don't hesitate to ask for painkillers if you need them. I was painfree by the next day and just found the drains a drag. Literally. I sometimes forgot they were there and left the room with them following! Sending big hugs
