Hi
I already have lorezepam but a low dose.
Your surgery sounds a lot more complicated than what I am going to go through and I don't think that reconstruction is something to do until they know that they got it all. So that is not on my radar at the moment. I'm just trying to get through this.. No one is staying with me. My neighbor on my floor will check on me.

Hello @sue417 - Yes, I was wondering if you had asked for anything else, or maybe if you should increase the dose of Lorazepam. However, it is not a good idea for you to increase the dose - unless the doctor is aware and agrees. Particularly so since you are having surgery.
I understand your concern about doing one thing at a time (surgery, then later, reconstruction). And, of course, the anxiety that goes along with all of that. There is not a good or a bad way to do this - You can make any decision you feel comfortable with. In fact, some people decide against having any reconstruction. Others, decide to have reconstruction years later. Rest assured; it is fine to wait.
Having a neighbor checking in on you is great! You shouldn't be totally alone.
Yes, my surgery was a bit more complicated. My DCIS was in multiple sites (all on my right breast). That does take time. Thankfully, you will not have to worry about that!
HUGS!
