pre surgery symptoms

HI EVERYONE FINALLY I HAVE A DATE FOR SURGERY 23RD AUGUST 7 WEEKS AFTER I FOUND THAT NASTY LUMP 6 WEEKS AFTER BIOPSY . I JUST WANT THIS CRAP GONE SO THAT I CANT START TREATMENT AND GET BACK TO NORMAL (AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE). I KNOW I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS IF ANY ONE ELSE HAD SYMPTOMS BEFORE SURGERY, I HAVE A PAIN IN MY BACK ON THE BAD BREAST SIDE THAT FEELS LIKE A SORE MUSCLE I ALSO HAVE A VERY DIZZY HEAD AND FEEL LIKE I AM WALKING IN A DREAM, I HAVE CONSISERED THAT MAYBE IAM BEING PARANOID, AND THAT THE EMOTIONS AND STRESS MAY HAVE CREATED THIS, IAM ALSO ON THYROXINE AFTER THYROIDECTOMY  FEW YEARS AGO AND THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM ANY THOUGHTS??

    Hi I had to wait 9 weeks or more to have surgery, nearly 6 weeks just to see a surgeon so I am hearing you, I had awful back pain and was convinced it was mets, but my bone scan was clear, ask for scans if you cant sleep and are worried peace of mind is what we all need

    I think a lot of us start to question pre existing things that may be associated to our cancer but accepting that you have it is the biggest hurdle to get over and also accepting that its going to be part of your life is a focus to . Go and ask all the questions you can think of write them down  even if thet are small ,worrying and waiting is the worst , I held myself so rigid when I had my MRI pre surgery  that I pulled a muscle in my chest and was convinced the cancer was growing at a massive speed .

    I think it's always best to get any persistant pain or dizziness checked out by your doctor before you declare yourself paranoid. I'm sorry to hear that you"ve had to wait so long for surgery - that must be hard for you. See your doc so you can go into surgery without worrying about other health problems.
