How Can I Calm Down Before My Mastectomy Surgery?

Hi Lidia, I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm going in on June 12th, and I have been going back and forth about it myself. It's extremely difficult, at least for me, to find a place of calmness. I try to keep busy and keep up with my normal everyday life. I don't believe you can be fully calm. You are going to have good and bad days. I also yake cbd/the tincture when I feel like I can't breathe. It's hard, it will be hard,but you will come out of this. Talk about it, and let people know how you feel. Get outside help if need be. I'm praying for you 🙏❤️ Ask your team as well for guidance and help with speaking to someone.

Thank u nil I do keep busy but it's always on my mind but when my grandson is here for 2 wk I get distracted a littel he just left. Your sweet .and u also are in my prayers

Oh yes!! When I'm with my grandkids, I forget everything. They fill my ❤️ But, yes, even if you are busy, it's still on your mind. I went away for 2 weeks, and even on that trip, I cried a few times about it. We will be ok. If you are OK with it and when you feel better, let me know how it went and how you are feeling 🙏

It's completely natural to feel anxious before such a significant surgery, and these feelings are shared by many others in this community who have walked a similar path. Consider trying relaxation techniques like deep breathing, gentle meditation, or speaking with your medical team about your concerns - they may have additional resources or reassurance that could help ease your stress in these final few days.
