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

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

I will be thinking of you tomorrow, of course it is normal to feel scared and nervous it is a massive event, dont ever think you will be making a fool of yourself, just dont go there. Try to keep positive and know that you have so many of us here that understand and care. Cheers Jen ?? ?? ?? xx

Chrisss - i wish you well. Totally understand! I have only lost one breast (Dec) and i am stll grieving. Give yourself permission to be sad about this. It is a big deal. Big hugs. Kris

Good morning D day is here for you good luck. Have a good cry tomorrow there is nothing wrong with that it can be healing. Sending you a big hug and positive vibes. Make sure you rest while in hospital let someone look after you.xxx

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.

Hi Chris, I hope your surgery day went well. Mine is all ahead of me! I loved that you talked about sobbing like a little baby when you're in there and it's all happening - that's what's happening to me right now too. I've taken lots of encouragement from your blogging and the responses from the other women about this.

I look forward to hearing how your hospital stay goes, and bilateral mastectomy - at this stage this is on my treatment plan too. Good luck xo

I will be thinking of you today Chris with Love & prayers.

I found the mastectomy was not as bad as I thought it was going to be, I think the drains annoyed me more than anything & although mine was the right side only & I did not have expanders in I am sure you will be fine.

Sending Big hugs to you.
