Hi Lyn
Had my surgery last week, was very pleased with my surgery and surgeon, he did a tremendous job. Not like I'd imagined. Get my results tomorrow, very anxious not totally positive about results, more realistic I guess, will be a bonus to receive good news, ready for the disappointment. You're spot on about being on the other side, felt very vulnerable and out of control. I'm trying my best to be a good patient, it's not easy.
All the best with your journey, hope the chemo isn't too harsh, stay strong, cry when you feel like it, have the empathy for yourself that we always afford others.
Take care, and let others take care of you too.
Kind regards
