Nervous and scared before my surgery tomorrow
Hi all, so my surgery is tomorrow. Ever since I've been diagnosed I wanted surgery ASAP, and it's here.
Horror feelings are back: fear, despair, anger, confusion, just a mess.
I had surgeries before (not breast) so I know what to expect, but this one hits different. It's a reminder of my diagnosis and my new life.
Off course, my mind goes past surgery all the way to the treatment, radiation, and probable endocrine therapy and reading so much of bad side effects and it's scares me to the core.
While I try to be brave, I have to admit I'm often falling apart and think "what ifs", and how will I deal with all this, how will I get through it.
So much to deal with... 😔😢

Best of luck tomorrow. My double mastectomy is soon too so know you are not alone and wonderful resources like this are available.
I am going to ask my surgeon for a referral to a psychologist. Everything helps. We feel fine one minute, terrified the next.
Much love x
My thoughts are for you try and get done sort of rest tonight im still two weeks away it seems like it’s taking forever
