Any suggestions /tips for preparing for surgery and heading home
Hi there, I will be having surgery in a week - lumpectomy and breast reduction in the other breast. I am trying to prepare what I can for not only the surgery but my return home. I have 2 primary age kids who are full of beans and 2 big dogs who love to be lap dogs. I am thinking maybe I need to create a quiet space in my bedroom and get an arm chair? Any other tips would be very much appreciated. I am also in the process of about to apply for income protection - it is a 90 day wait. Any suggestions with this would also be helpful.
Income protection
Hi. I was wondering if any of you lovely ladies have had experience during your journey with income protection. I have had a policy in place for the last few years and I’m looking at making a claim seeing as I will be out of action for about 6 months. I contacted my insurance company and they couldn’t give me a straight answer. I’m covered for serious illness which covers breast cancer but it sounds like they won’t pay it to me unless I have the whole breast removed. At this stage I’m not sure what the surgery will be as we are waiting for the core biopsy results to determine the best course of action. I’ll have a chat to my Drs and see if they know anything. I’m just a bit worried that I’m paying all this money and I won’t be entitled to it. Like honestly, is breast cancer not enough let alone the possibility of losing my breast? They have really upset me by not giving me a straight answer. I can’t afford 6 months off without an income 😢 Any advice would be appreciated xxx
