Irb thanks, yesterday was a long day but yes very worthwhile and I feel more prepared for Surgery next week.
I had the ECG, urine/blood tests etc and saw an amazing nurse in the Pre Admission Clinic, she explained everything!!!
She put it all in writing, drew pictures and answered every concern I had.
If she didn't know the answer or couldn't find any reference to it on my computer file, it seems a lot has not been recorded (why am I not surpised?) then she jotted that question down so we could ask the Surgeon during the consultation.
In the end I only had two questions for the Surgeon :)
A lot of the information given by the training Doctor was irrelevant to my situation, so they understood my confusion.
As it turns out I have been transferred to a female Surgeon, ironically I saw her as a private patient 10 years ago for biopsy's of lots of cysts in both breasts. So that was a win for me as she is wonderful.
I will start another thread about the tests I'm to have on the Surgery day, I am so ignorant haha. I just want to run it past those that have had them done, so much information given yesterday!
Thanks again everyone for answering and helping me through this maze. <3
