Thanks everyone. Spoke with the nurse yesterday and went through a few things which was good. I've lined up a cleaner for while I'm in hospital so hopefully that will help make things easier. Another lovely hurdle I didn't mention earlier is that we live in the country as well so I'm having to stay with family before and after surgery as they're not keen on me making the 2 and a half hour trip so soon. So I'm having to pack so much stuff for me as well as the kids.
Hi Carly, yes, I had chemo first as my lump was over 2x3cm in size. The chemo worked really well and they think all that's left is just scar tissue.
Thanks for your advice and support. Will keep you posted on how I'm travelling! x
