Aw, Quinny, that sounds miserable, I hope you feel better soon.
It must be hard to be having the physical symptoms of one thing at the same time as the physical symptoms of feeling anxious before surgery.
Water infections are well known for making you feel crap both physically and mentally, so put most of it down to that, some maybe to the antibiotics, and keep taking the tablets and drinking plenty-watery stuff I mean not booze, but then you know that anyway!
We all feel scared before surgery, however much we hide it, we just have to try and remember thatit is routine stuff for the nursing and medical staff and you will get out the other side of it.
Do you have any info about a cancer support place near you? I was given info by the breast care nurses very early on re a place for general support and gentle relaxation therapies, which I didnt take up until much later. Wish I had gone earlier as they are so nice and supportive and I come away feeling much more relaxed.
Sending hugs if you like them
