Thanks. I know the centre I go to has a breast care nurse but I haven’t heard anything about being referred to her. Guess I will find out 🤷‍♀️

      I haven’t seen a nurse yet, but surgery is tomorrow so I will see what happens then. The physio I saw on Friday was great though and have me lots if information so I am feeling much better about it all.
