Waiting for surgery
Hi everyone. I was just wondering how long everyone had to wait for surgery . I'm having a double mastectomy on Wednesday and that will be three weeks after my diagnosis and four weeks since my ultras...

Sharon,
I waited the same time as you from mammogram to surgery. Again, the surgeon said that weeks make no difference at all to outcome. I found the waiting the hardest thing in my life! I also imagined pain in my left armpit and tingles in my breast during this time and thought the cancer was spreading. It wasn't! It's all in our heads I think!
Unfortunately-because our surgeons are so popular we have to wait our turn!
Good luck tomorrow. You will find relief knowing the cancer is out of you. I was also triple negative and found the triple negative foundation in the US a huge support-full of info and a forum you can join. Lots of helpful ladies there too who can answer any questions you have.
