Upcoming Surgery- so nervous

Hi @Kelkel89, I am sorry things have not gone to the original plan and it is a lot to process. I had neo adjuvant chemo (before surgery) and then had a bilateral mastectomy (BMX). This is possibly one of the most challenging things to go through. I was tentative about looking at my surgery and then I was really surprised at just how neat everything was. I did have the start of reconstruction immediately (expanders) and you will find that different doctors have different ideas about that process. I did not have radiation. 
I was 7 days in hospital and everything went well. I put all of my day to day stuff (phone, lip balm etc) in one of those packing cubes, which you can get at Kmart and this kept everything together and easy to get to. I also bought a couple of button up tops to wear with pants as they were easy to get into. Slip on shoes are also great so you don’t have to reach down. 
I also went and saw a psychologist and this helped me so much. The physical challenge is one thing, but the mind game is another. Have you seen a Breast Care nurse? What you are feeling is very normal and understandable when things have changed so quickly. All the best with your surgery. Mx
