LUMPECTOMY
Hi there, I have recently been diagnosed and have a lumpectomy tomorrow 14 Feb. This is my first surgery in my life, and I am very anxious about it. Would love to chat to someone that has been through...
Forum Discussion
Hello @DEEDEEDEE
I am in WA, right up at the very top of our state. I had my treatment and continue to have my followup care in Perth. My surgery was a lumpectomy and I was back in our accommodation venue within 4 hours of surgery.
This really is the best online support group for information, emotional support and, dare I say it, laughs. A more supportive group of people that,I doubt, would be found anywhere else.
I have made some "far away" warm loving friends through this forum and have had the privilege of meeting some of them.
Ask any question - there are no silly questions. Those questions have all invaded our minds at many times.
Do use BCCWA, the organisation that @JJ70 mentions. They were a godsend during my time in Perth when I was so far from home.
If you are fortunate to be allocated a Breast Care Nurse, use her.
Warm Kimberley wishes to you for a successful outcome with your surgery tomorrow.
