Big M Day is finally here!!!

Well guys the big Mastectomy day has come, going in tomorrow for a double whammy, PS will only do implants as DIEP is far too risky for me due to low platelets, but there is also a 50/50 chance I may be getting expanders first.  Feeling scared, nervous, so many emotions going through my head at the moment. Have been feeling so low every since chemo finished.  I know I will be sobbing like a little baby tomorrow and make a fool of myself but I can't help it, knowing that this is happening right now is actually freaking me out, this was not part of my plan, but is BC part of anyone's plan???? Why? I ask myself that every single day.  So many whys at the moment but at the end of the day I realize it is what it is, just get up do what you have to do and get it over and done with.

Till next time xxx

    This step is still to come for me Chriss! and I am extremely nervous too...It's perfectly normal.

    I will be thinking of you today and sending healing love and light.

    The final hurdle to getting this bitch out of your life once and for all!

    Best wishes

    Xx

    Just get in, get it done, get it over and then you can start coming to terms with it all. Cancer gone with surgery is a big positive active step so be happy with that even though its a scary thing to go through.

    Hope all is smooth sailing and it will almost be a relief once the surgery is done.  Small steps...cry when you need, it's  perfectly normal. Kath x
