Thanks @arpie.
I haven't heard from my actual sister (in WA) since before my surgery - so I feel like I'm protected by my BCNA sisters with your advice above. I really really appreciate it.
You are right, but gosh, I'm itching to get in the water again. Not just for the cool, but it's my stress relief. I absolutely do not want to interrupt my healing.
I'm just really struggling with the anxiety about the next stage of treatment at the moment. Anything that can help to ease that.
