Re: Yikes, panic has set in, day before!
My surgery is about a week away and I can only imagine how I'll be feeling the day before. I can understand how frighten and worried you must be, but just know that you are in good hands. I will be praying and thinking of you. Hang in there and try to take it easy. I would try aromatherapy, a hot bubble bath, and maybe a massage from the significant other. Good luck and best wishes!

Mine is coming up on Wednesday - when panic sets in I breath deeply, visualize how good I will feel afterwards. Keep thinking ahead, and be kind to yourself.
Holding the best for you!

Hang in there! I will pray for you. Take a bubble bath, give yourself a facial, manicure. I can't imagine what you are going through yet but I think I will be a bundle of nerves too. I am looking for ways to relax right now. May have to go get a mini mani! Good luck!! It will all be ok=)

You ladies be strong. Keep reminding yourselves why you need this surgery and rest assured knowing we all felt this way right before.
I kept in constant prayer and once I reached the hospital and checked in, I just looked at the many professionals that do this every day.
You will feel better soon and keep focused on the wonderful summer you will have; oh, the possibilities.
I will pray for you.

Re: Yikes, panic has set in, day before!
I'm on for Wednesday, too, and yes, I'm a bundle of nerves. So, today I finished cleaning my bedroom and cooked DH and me a great dinner. Tomorrow, I plan to buy a few groceries, especially the broth and Gator Ade and Jello to get ready for the PREP!!!! When I feel the big wave of anxiety coming on I try to deep breath and pray and say, next week at this time, the Cancer will be OUT, and I'll be on the road to recovery.

Nikki,
At the hospital they will give you something wonderful to relax you, just ask.My Dr. gave me a prescription a week before surgery, just in case I felt too anxious. I didn't fill it, but was glad I could if I wanted.
