Hi Anita,
I have the same diagnosis as you and had my surgery 3 weeks ago. I had to wait several weeks for it and that was very hard to cope with. Had a lot of trouble sleeping, so I know what it's like. At least you have a husband to talk with and good friends. I am single and live alone & had to do it by myself day in and day out and now I am waiting for radium treatment to start. I found that listening to chill out music for a while when going to bed helped to distract me & I spent a lot of time hugging my 2 cats! Friends always mean well but sometimes they don't say the things that help most & I found it easier sometimes to just not answer the phone at all on my difficult days. The anxiety was awful. That lifted a lot about a week after the surgery. So trust me, it gets better. Always remember, every day, even the shitty ones are another day towards your recovery. All the best honey,
Karen xoxo
