Hi @Arn_007, welcome to this club that none of thought we would be in. Glad you got through your surgery. It's all such a whirlwind isn't it. It's great you have a breast care nurse to ask questions and talk about things. Hopefully you also have good family or friends support too.

This forum is great and you can ask anything from us. We are all happy to help.

Hopefully you will get through this too. Best wishes
