Hi Flo, My name is Chrissy and I'm also a newby to the site and also blogging. My surgery is on Friday 29th October same as you.I am having a right side mastectomy and lymph nodes removed. I live in Bundy Qld, and have a wonderful surgeon and support team. My McGrath Breast Care Nurse is a god Send and I dont know what I'd do without her. I'm finding the waiting really hard for me to deal with, I just want it over with and start treatment and move on. I'm normally a very patient person but finding myself getting really cranky.
I just have to take a "chilpill" as my kids say and keep busy and hope time flys over the next week. 7 more sleeps.
I really hope you get over your cold. Take it easy and keep blogging as their are heaps of wonderful people to talk with, ask questions etc.
Take care and see you on the other side of the surgery. Chrissy D
Ps add me as a contact if you like and we can keep in touch.
