2nd opération

At waiting room waiting for a nurse to call me in. I have very high colesterol and hypertenssion. I'm worried about these check before the operation. When I'm worried pressure goes even higher. I'm worried about how much tissu I lose today. I'm sure it'll be very notable this time. And 8 days after I'll receive the formal treatment plan. Lots of things to go thriugh but I can only do one by one as I need the result first. I haven't told my children yet.

    I am glad you are home.  My breast surgeon is a gentle sensitive man whom I find very easy to speak to and who put a great deal of care into preserving my breast shape.  At the time I didnt care just wanted the BC out, now I appreciate his skill.  I hope you heal from your surgery well.

    As to finding mental peace, be gentle on yourself.  For myself I discovered many techniques to help me cope from music through to meditation through to TaiChi.  You will find a way too. 

    Take care.

    Back home after the 2nd operation. My doctor spoke to me just before it to plan where to cut by drawing positions on my breast with pen. She drew 3 to 4 alternatives on the beast thinking the best outcome which she can preserve a shape of my breat as good as possible. I thought I was lucky to have sensitive female breast surgeon. Or maybe every breast doctor has such sensitivity? I trust her decision. But I'm still scared to see it now. It's hurt. The new cut is closed to the middle chest. But I'm physically fine. At the moment to sustain mental calmness is bit of trouble. I try not to think too much. I will inform about BC to my daughter and nieces soon before I return to work. I want to encourage them to take breast screening whenever they suspect anything at all.
