Is there anything I should know to prepare myself for what they will do on Tuesday for my Mastectomy surgery the next day. Or is it better not to know. So far all I know is I have to go to a Nuclear...

@Blister I spent the whole day there, the day before my surgery. I’m glad I had long parking. I remember that day, I was so terrified, I was bawling in the waiting room and then realised I had no tissues (I really needed one-I looked like a snotty toddler) 😆😄😩. Ahh memories.
They told me to take something to read or do cos I’d wait a lot, but other than the initial wait I was pretty busy, so stuff I brought was just a bother to carry. There were a lot of scary looking machines and a lot of lying down for ages on them, in different positions. Thankfully the staff were great and helped me to feel more comfortable. At the end they wrote up a report for me and the surgeon (which also took ages). A long, boring, and annoying day all in all. If this is the day you’re asking about, then that’s what it was for me. Not painful in a physical sense, and if you’re not scared of the surgery then won’t be too bad. If you have great staff like I did, it should be pretty bearable. Good luck! 🍀♥️
