Count down to surgery

I’ve always looked forward to new adventures and or changes in my life. How do I prepare for coming home knowing I’ll be missing a part of me? I’m a size 18 mother of a 5 year old son and am loved by my fiancé for who I am. I’m worried how this might change me.

    It is not easy for sure. And it’s an uncomfortable truth that our concern for how our partner will feel about us afterwards features high in our fears. I am happy to say that both adjust to that missing body part. The sadness stays but you accept it and are just grateful the tumour is gone. Sending you a big hug xx
