Thanks AFraser. Yes, my husband is coming with me so hopefully his head will absorb more info than mine! It would be nice to have more time between initial visit & surgery but maybe they wanted me in & out before Christmas & I come from the country so travelling is an issue. Hopefully after tomorrow a lot of the questions can be answered & I have been told my surgeon is highly recommended so I will be guided by her thoughts. Thanks for your words of wisdom & you're right, one day at a time. I like to be in control normally but this is so out of your control! xx
