@arpie thank you so much for sharing your experience and for giving precious advices.
I'm in Brisbane and i've been looking for support groups or integrated therapies structures and found out that there's only one place I can go to, 15 minutes away from my place.
I am not sure if the hospital i'm having surgery in has a service of individual counselling as I went through the medicare site and got lost in all the informations and links provided there.
On top, I moved to Australia 2 years ago from Italy and "the system" is not the one I was grown up in and maybe this increases dramatically my anxiety (which I admit even in not stressful situations has always been pretty much unmanageable and I 've had to get it controlled by medicine in the past).
Thank you for explaining in such a gentle, kind, sensitive way all the details surgery/recovery related.
I have to manage my fears as they are severely affecting my daily life. I'm loosing sleep and a bit of weight and I' concerned that the kids, to whom I've told that that the procedure is because there's something in mummy's breast that has to be removed, will absorb my anxiety and I absolutely do not want them to stress at all.
I will surely ask my GP for a low dose sleeping tablets if I realise that I'm going too far with sleep deprivation.
Thank you for the time you dedicated to my concerns. Much appreciated.
Take care xx
