its finally coming close to my operation date ,ive waited 3 weeks and seems like 3 months lol . is it normal to worry .i think its a fear of the unknown x
MIne too on 22nd and am trying not to worry too much. We can’t do anything about it and it needs to be done. I am sure we will both be relieved Tuesday evening that the lump has gone ! Then we will start worrying about results after that. It seems like it’s all a constant worry !!
Hi Angel, I had my op last Tuesday and am recovering well. Cant believe its already Sunday. I was worried about the op because although I have had a general anaesthetic before it was over 20 years ago. But honestly I needn’t of worried it wasn’t anything like as bad as I thought. I had to wait until almost 4pm to go to theatre so it was a long day but the nurses were brilliant and checked on me regularly and kept me informed. My husband was also able to stay with me until I went to theatre which was great. Before I knew it I was out and then waking up in recovery…it was at this point I felt a bit emotional because yay it was over. I was home by 9.30 pm and in bed by 10. The worst bit honestly was the hunger cause I hadn’t eaten all day I was starving…but a small price to pay. You will be OK, it normal to be apprehensive. Stay strong and I wish you all the very best for tuesday. Keep us informed how you get on. Xxx
Hi ,I was given my treatment plan on 26th March ,but my tumour (invasive ductal carcimona 19mm)and sentinal lymph nodes biopsy operation could not be until13th April at the one stop breast unit that i had been attending ,i feel very confident with the unit and the Surgeon so i decided to wait ,rather than go to a large local hospital that i have no confidence in .When i went for my pre op assessment ,i was told by the Doctor who was standing in for the aneasthetist that they may not be able to do it at the unit i have been waiting to go to as i have Atrial Fibrillation( well controlled by medication),and very occasional sleep apnea i have got to wait until it has been decided where i will have my op done and also when.I am so worried about my cancer spreading and growing as every day goes by.I had 42 days to wait and i count down every day i am now down to 21 days ,but if i have to go on another waiting list at this other hospital i have no idea how long this may be ,surely this is not right !Sorry to ramble on but i an at my wits end.Ellies
