Mastectomy and reconstruction tomorrow...trying not to freak out
Its exhausting, all of the tests, fertility preservation went well yesterday, they managed to get 11 eggs! Ive got my fingers crossed that there will be some survivors out of this batch, I know I'm strong but I can't do that again...71 injections/cannulations to date. It's suppose to get easier right? Im still waiting for it to. The most exhausting part is trying to keep it together for everyone else, especially my hubby. Im living a world made partly of quiet optimisim/depression/denial, hubby said to me he's waiting for me to fall apart and thinks it will happen once ive finally had the mastectomy... I don't really know what to think or how to feel about this? I really don't have any spheres of reference...im just trying to keep positive and only focus on one step at a time. I am a bit worried that Im having the mastectomy tomorrow but still haven't got an oncologist yet, probably should check on that! Anyway, hopefully things will go well tomorrow ❤

Thinking of you
lots of love and hugs for you! - Vivianna i wanted to wish you well for surgery, I've had BC twice in 4yrs it's a tough road, but you are tougher, remember that! I'm facing mastectomy, recon in Feb, I'm completely freaked out but because I am well, all clear since 2015, so this is prevention due to recurrence, which mentally I find very difficult. I'm sorry to hear of your eggs, but thrilled you have 2! You are stronger than you think and braver than you know. Hugs melinda xo
- Hi Vivianna,
This is such an exhausting & emotional roller coaster. We are stronger than we ever knew before and we can only do the best we can.
The day I went for my first chemo my mum said to me to go with my head up and to walk with courage. I have ro say those words have helped me alot.
Wishing you the very best for your surgery tomorrow & for the future.
Thinking of you
