can't sleep due to anxiety with upcoming surgery

Hi my name is Anita, I'm having surgery on the 24th June for Early Stage Breast Cancer Invasive Ductal Carsinoma I suppose it's starting to weigh heavy on my mind now as I'm having trouble sleeping...

Hi Anita,

I had a lumpectomy about 2 months ago and already it is looking just like the other breast.  I know everyone is different but don't worry too much about it, I am sure you hubby loves you for more than just that one part of you.

I downloaded some guided relaxation podcasts onto my ipod and have kept that by my bed for sleepless nights.  I can just reach over and grab it easily when I need it. 

cheers
