Hi Janey & Ian, I cannot give you advise as I am still to have my bilateral mastectomy & chemotherapy. So I will send you my thoughts & prayers and a big virtual hug. My operation is on Friday & I to am feeling the anxiety building, "yes I am having both breasts removed". I have joined Bloomhill Cancer Help, and tomorrow I will attend a meditation class & then have a massage. They provide the emotional support & therapies to help the spirit/soul heal and to reduce anxiety. You are assigned a case worker who is also a registered nurse. They will contact you via telephone during periods that you cannot come into the centre. You can also contact them if you have any questions or worries. The whole family can join & have access to the support they provide. All the best for your operation Janey. Take care of you. Adrianne
