Hi Silver,

I have just read your post and feel reassured that the system doesn't just "leave you to get on with it" once you have had the operation and original treatment. 

I am due to have a lumpectomy on Monday after having to self isolate for 2 weeks. 

I have a great network of supportive friends, my daughter has put her life on hold to stay with me,  however I still feel very apprehensive and anxious.  I know I am able to call the Breast Care Nurse at any point,  however I know what a heavy workload they deal with daily.

It has helped to be able to write this to someone who has been through similar recently, thank you for that.

Yes, I found this site very helpful, if only to have a rant and someone who understands will always reply for support. Wishing you well on Monday, I found the op not too bad, once I'd recovered from the anaesthetic it healed quite quickly. And it's a relief to know that the cancer has been removed, your first stage of recovery.
