Very worried waiting for Sentinel node Biopsy

Hi, I have my surgery coming up this week for the same thing as you. I was diagnosed with IDC but very early stage and yes have stressed a lot. I'm 52, a bit older than you but have gone through and still going through the same emotional roller coaster. Things came to a head yesterday with my blood pressure sky rocketing and I thought I have to do something. So I did some Pilates stretches and breathing then got my iPod found some quiet music and lay down, told my brain in no uncertain terms to switch off, and stayed there till I calmed down. I have a relaxation massage booked for tomorrow and plan to keep on with the music and stretches. I don't know whether you have children but this would be a good time for family to help so you can get some time to meditate, employ any relaxation techniques, have someone give you a massage what ever you think will work. Take a deep breath. We're here for you. Xx
