Hi @LisaO , how're you doing today? Lot's of good advice in the other posts so I'll just reinforce, keep away from Google, it can be a trap, unless you have been given specific websites to look at DON'T GOOGLE. Just breathe, take one step at a time. For me the operation was the most petrifying thing I have even done but the expectation was the worst. You might be finding yourself stuck thinking about the 'what ifs....'. Stop. Breathe. Do something, anything, get off your bum and go for a walk, do the washing up, anything to break the hamsterwheel thoughts. Ring your breastcare nurse, or the BCNA or Cancer Council helpline if you can't do anything else. They are there to help. Let us know how you're doing.
