Cancer Diary - Part 4

[dyllanne]

Now the waiting. I have been told that my surgery will be in a month, but I don’t have a date yet. I am telling people at work. Many know already because I posted it on facebook, so I have had a lot of hugs in the kitchen and two bunches of flowers. My main message is always “don’t be worried or sad, because things are going to be alright”. I have however had several emotional breakdowns. Once during a 1:1 with my boss. I had a difficult moment at SW when I won Woman of the Year without telling them that I had cancer. I also have had a panic about nerve damage in my arm as it’s in my dominant arm and nerve damage to my hand would be disastrous. Bad thoughts like that woke me early and I couldn’t get back to sleep.
