Surgery

So, tomorrow's the big day, the next stage of this journey for me.  For the last five months I have been living as a person WITH Breast Cancer.  To be honest I can't say I particularly dwelled on this fact, the idea that I had cancer was just too surreal to actually accept sometimes.  By the end of tomorrow I might actually become someone that HAD breast cancer.  Obviously I need to wait for the pathology results to confirm this but it will just be great to have what's left of the little bugger removed.

Someone put the idea in my head that I could ask to see it....ha ha, if you know me well you'll know how much this appeals to me, I'd love to have a poke and a prod and look at it under a microscope!  Somehow I don't think they will let me do that!  I guess I will probably not be so interested when I'm all groggy, and most likely being sick knowing my history, post op.

I have no idea what time the op will be.  I have to be in at 7.15.  It's a bit like an airport.....they get everyone in first thing, then we all sit in a holding pattern in a room awaiting our slot for take off.  It could be a long day of sitting around.  I obviously can't eat or drink so if my slot is later in the day it could be a bit torturous!

I will have a post op check up on the 27th and I'll get all the pathology results then.

So, I'll see you on the other side .....still me, as always, but a little lighter.
