newly diagnosed

Hi Scalena,

Do they tell you after the surgery how big the lump was? On the Ultrasound it said my Lump was 23mm but my surgeon who I trust completely thinks that isn't as big as that but I just want it out I'm not too sure about the Lymph Nodes though, I guess I'll find out soon enough only 10 days to go now but I'm not nervous I just want to start on my journey of being Cancer Free I have so much to live for and my daughter and husband are the world to me and I too am trying to get as organised as I can as I don't want my daughter to have to not be able to find her things and for everything to run smoothly at home here while I'm in hospital as we also have 2 dogs, as usual with us women a house would fall apart for 1-2 days if we aren't here, did you have much pain after surgery? 4 days after my surgery my daughter has a birthday party and I really want to take her as she'll be on school holidays and it's only 2 hours and I will need to get out of the house. You need to stay positive before and after surgery and I just want to move forward with my life I'm going to start writing my story in a diary today maybe that'll help on the days leading up to surgery I'm sure everything will be fine as I too have a great support network of family and friends without them I don't know how I would have coped, hope to talk again soon.

Thanks Anita.
