Surgery tomorrow
Recent diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma, Grade 1. Surgery tomorrow - lumpectomy & some lymph nodes . Churning gut but almost keen to have.it done. Any tips for tomorrow?
Sorry to see you here, @Ruth_2022 .... joining the club you never thought you'd join! Once you've had your surgery, you will be surprised at how 'relieved' you will feel, knowing it is 'out'. But the nerves leading up to it is very normal xx
Check out this page for other 'stuff' on the forum (even some amusing bits) - Down the bottom is a link to 'what to take to hospital' with you .... and also a link to some 'tick sheets' that you can print off & fill in to take to your appointments after your surgery.

Have you been assigned a Breast Care Nurse yet? Sometimes your surgeon will have their own, or a McGrath nurse may be allocated to you xx.
Whack up any questions that you have here & someone will jump on & reply.
Take care & all the best for tomorrow xx
