💗 March 2026 Surgery Roll Call—Join here for support! 💗
If surgery is on your calendar this March—lumpectomy or mastectomy—this is your place. 💗 Consider this your official roll call. Whether you’re calm, overwhelmed, full of questions, or riding every emotion at once, we want you here.
Post. Introduce yourself. Let us know you’re counting down the days.
This thread is more than information—it’s connection. It’s where we share the real stuff: the nerves at 2 a.m., the “what should I pack?” questions, the unexpected moments, and the small wins that feel huge. The more voices we have, the stronger this space becomes.
And if your surgery is already behind you—please jump in. Your experience matters more than you know. The tiny tips. The honest truths. What helped your body heal. What helped your heart steady. Someone reading today may desperately need exactly what you learned.
✨ Ways to join in:
• Share your surgery date so we can cheer you on
• Tell us which procedure you’re having (only what feels right to share)
• Come back after surgery and update us—your story could be someone else’s courage
As you prepare, explore our Shopping / Packing / To-Do List for Surgery & Recovery and visit the Surgery section of our site for practical guidance on:
• Types of breast surgery
• Questions to ask your care team
• Lumpectomy vs. mastectomy decisions
• What surgery day and recovery truly look like
If you’re craving deeper connection, our Virtual Support Groups are open to you—during treatment and long after.
Most importantly: don’t stay quiet. Even a simple “Hi, my surgery is March 18th” is enough to open the door.
You don’t have to do this alone. We’re here before surgery, on the day itself, and through every step of recovery. 💞

Hi. I’m booked for mastectomy, sentinel node biopsy and reconstruction with “expander” 3rd March. Very emotional and struggling today. X
