Hi @Cruiser,  welcome to the forum no one really wants to be in.  It is the place to come for a rant and rave when need be, for support and also for plenty of laughs and tears along the way.  We get how you feel.   Waiting is just the pits so try and keep yourself busy either going for walks or maybe just watching some good movies on the box ( Yep  easier said than done )    Initially I had Lumpectomy last year and found when I went in for surgery I had packed way too much.  You really won't need much and you will probably only be in overnight. Are you having Auxillary nodes removed.  It would be handy to have a friend come and stay with you just for a night or two as there is nothing like your own bed.  You will know a lot more once you get the pathology results from your lumpectomy and this can sometimes change things as it did me.  Hopefully it is all you need though plus the Rads.  Thinking of you and big hugs your way.  xo
