Hi Annie... I know exactly what you mean about not being able to get the "C" word out of your mind. I was not able to think of much else for several months, but eventually, I adjusted to the fact I had BC, but it is now out of my body. I like to remember Mike's advice that I am cancer free until someone tells me differently! There is no reason not to plan your future as you would have before this happened.
I see you have updated your siggy line to your dx of T1NOMO. Did you get a copy of your path report, and if so, what type of tumor did it say yours was?
If I recall correctly, you had your TURBT just before Thanksgiving. I don't remember your mentioning a second surgery in your prior post (which doesn't mean you didn't but my memory is sketchy at best). Is the upcoming one for a second opinion and dx confirmation? If so, is someone else doing it?
So sorry the surgery center is making you feel like a bother. They sometimes tend to be very clinical and I suppose they have to be. My TURBT was early, and when she called the day before and said to be at the hospital at 5:30, I blurted out before I could catch myself "In the morning???" since I'm not a morning person.
As Cynthia suggested, you might ask your primary doc for a low-dose anti-anxiety med for those nights when you just can't stop the madness in your head. You do need your sleep and try not to let BC take that away from you.
