Drowning in anxiety and fear

Hi Anita:) I can feel a TINY bit of 'I can do this' creeping in to your post.And you can and will do it!!I am 59 and when I was told I needed a mastectomy,a year ago now,I was scared absolutely witless! Like you,I had never been in hospital,except to have my 3 children.I truly thought my life was coming to a quick end! Lol.I had a sentinel node biopsy,which is the test you are talking about.Its not at all,painful.I had a mastectomy,and it was surprisingly pain free(as all the ladies on here told me it would be!) and then I had chemo.Again,I was fine,and it was no way as bad as I had feared! When you have your treatment plan,don't be scared.Just come on here,and there will be many ladies that have been through the same stuff,and they will be able to tell,you just how it is.Big hugxxxRobyn
