Hi ladies my surgery is in 2 days and im nervous as hell. Ive never been an emotional person always half glass full and happy, but lately have found myself crying and emotional. My struggle is about to start so im grateful to have you ladies go through it with me. xoxo

  • Hi I am also having surgery on the 7th ! Feeling very the same , I do have a question what are you going to wear to go home ? I found myself this morning thinking about that???? IE button and loose , will I be able to lift my arm ? I don't have anything like this and even bras ? I guess bras aren't an option at that point ! Good luck x
  • I was exactly the same, still am.  I have had surgery and am about to start chemo/herceptin tomorrow.  I know what you're going through-you appear strong to everyone and then when you're on your own, meltdown.  Just take it as it comes, probably better to cry than to bottle it in.

    All the best for your surgery, take it easy and don't be too hard on yourself.

  • Just keep busy, lots of us washed walls cleaned cupboards, cooked, just to keep the mind occupied,crazy women. It's fear of the unknown, I'm sure once the day comes you will be ok, but if your not don't be afraid to say I'm scared, cause I bet you everyone else who loves you is to.we have all been there and know how you feel, it's just normal, I remember I had a wave of calm the day of my surgery and thought come on guys lets get this show on the road, I was quite elevated and the family thought I had lost my mind ,especially hubby when I was singing to the radio in pre op. regards adean
