Feeling scared before surgery is completely natural, and these anxious thoughts are something many people in this community understand. Consider writing down specific questions or concerns to discuss with your surgical team - they can walk you through what to expect and help ease some of that mental spinning by giving you concrete information about your procedure.

Talk to God. Give your worries to him and He’ll give you peace to get through this

Dear Monique, the first person that you will need to have patience and compassion for is yourself. They will try to make you as comfortable as they can but most of your recovery will need to come from you. Being patient with yourself and having realistic expectations for the things you will be able to achieve is in itself a milestone. Prayer is a form of meditation and I am so grateful and appreciative that I got a second chance. 🙏God bless

Hey it's okay to be scared I was scared also I got a two more my left breast and I got really sick and it's kind of normal nothing's normal about feelings but everybody feels differently you just hold on my person who I put on my face it is the Lord Jesus Christ he's always been by Rock because I spend a lot of time alone and for some reason I always feel safer than with him that he's with me so hopefully you have a good friend to talk to and hang in there I lost my head I had like a skull fracture from side effects from the chemo and I still have a good attitude so you just be patient everybody's got different side effects that's why cancer such a horrible disease but it's curable I will pray for you and your family and if you don't have one you'll find some and support groups and reaching out to people. 💞 Dina B 💮🎂 everyday is a birthday the people are going through female and Cancer treatments so I sent you a birthday cake God bless
