Hello all,
I have just got my pre op letter today and was reading all the information, had a bit of a wobbly moment reading about the risks and stuff but got myself together now. I am reading everyones postings and am getting worried that everyone seems to be so clued up on terminology and what is going to happen to them. I think i need to ring the counsellor on monday to make an appointment. My letter from the hospital says the appointment will be approx 2 hours. Do I see my consultant then because at the minute thae last time i saw him was my diagnosis.
Dyzee: you must me a mind reader because when i was in with my GP i asked her about sleeping tablets and she gave me 10 days worth to at least get me throught to the operation date, took one last night and had my first full nights sleep. I m going to try without tonight but I came home from work and Marks and Spencer (buying jim jams for hospital with button up fronts) and spent all afternoon on the sofa dozing so not sure if i will sleep tonight or not.
I am veering toward lumpectomy again today although from what my consultant said as I am losing the nipple anyway its going to be quite a lot going. I am a 36D cup so I suppose I can afford to lose quite a bit.
Ah well I suppose I will know more on Wednesday. Most people know now so I dont have to say the whole story again and I’m sure the rumour mill has gone into high gear at work. Ah well if they are talking about me at least they are leaving someone else alone.
As always Love and Luck to all.
