Another surgery 😞

Hi all,
I’m facing my 3rd surgery in less than 6 months. Margins were out by less than 2mm either side. To say I’m pissed is an understatement! But can’t risk leaving it. I was wondering if anyone has had local anaesthetic and/or sedation instead of general? I don’t recover well from GA.

Much love to you all on your journeys x

    That's a real bummer that you need a 3rd surgery to get clear margins, Annabannana​  :(   I'd be pretty pissed myself!  

    You could ask your surgeon about a 'twilight' sedation?  It isn't as deep as a general - if they do not recommend it, you could always ask why?

    Take care & all the best xx
