Is it normal to feel emotional before a mastectomy?

Hi, Debbie, it's normal to be nervous, emotional, scared, sad, etc. before such a big surgery. I had all types of feelings before my mastectomy. In the end, I just felt relieved that the cancer was removed, and I was able to focus my energy on recovery and the next steps. If you haven't already, there are a lot of useful items that you can get off Amazon to help with the recovery process (chest pillow, drain holders, seatbelt protector, clothing with drain pockets, etc). I wish you a speedy recovery!

Thank you much Nina I've already ordered things from Amazon

Please make sure you follow up watch out for scarring make sure you're not allergic to plastic and before then work on your gut health. Check your thyroid. Check your thymus. Check with natara test. Immunotherapy, anastrazole in vitamin D and high levels check your level first. Must find out what trigger this to happen to you. These are just suggestions I'm not a doctor consult with a knowledgeable doctor

Hi Debbie and Nina, Debbie, it is very normal to have all of those emotions. I've been crying since my diagnosis randomly. I'm petrified of surgery coming June 12th. My emotions are all over the place. I was 4 years in remission and just got diagnosed again on March 31st. Now I'm getting a mastectomy. But as you say, Debbie, I may feel relieved that it will be gone. I'm hoping that I can focus on my recovery , as you stated. We will be ok. It will be OK. All the best and sending lots of prayers and love.💕

We all felt the same way and we are here, helping, giving an advise, listening and wishing you and anyone else good luck, writing positive words and thoughts. Good luck, and God Bless! Again you can do this👍.
