What to Expect on Your Breast Cancer Surgery Day: A Step-by-Step Guide With Dr Tasha

Surgery can be an overwhelming experience, especially when facing something as significant as breast cancer. However, knowing what to expect and understanding the process of a surgery day can help ease your nerves and reduce anxiety.

In today's video, I’m walking you through every detail of what happens from the moment you arrive at the hospital on your surgery day. While specific procedures can vary depending on the hospital or clinic you’re attending, the essential steps are generally similar no matter where you're receiving your care.

I’ll cover everything from the check-in process, pre-operative preparations, meeting with your surgical team, and what to expect in the operating room. I’ll also touch on what happens immediately after surgery in the recovery room and give you some insight into post-operative care before you go home.

By the end of this video, you'll have a clearer understanding of the day's events, which can help you feel more in control and prepared. Whether you’re scheduled for surgery soon or supporting someone who is, this guide is designed to provide you with valuable information that can make the experience a little less daunting.

Remember, each person's experience may differ slightly, but having this knowledge can empower you to approach the day with greater confidence and peace of mind.

Hi, I'm Dr Tasha

I’m a Doctor, Breast Cancer Surgeon, and Medical Educator. After 20 years of helping people understand and overcome breast health problems, I’ve seen first-hand the fear, frustration, and stress that my patients go through.

As a breast specialist with over a decade’s worth of experience, I understand finding the right information, processing a diagnosis, understanding treatment, and getting accurate, practical advice as you ride the rollercoaster of emotions can be really tough.

But I’m here to help.

The internet can be a wonderful source of information but when it comes to breast health there’s a lot of inaccurate information out there. Listening to the wrong advice could cause you unnecessary worry or even put your health at risk.

So I wanted to create an accessible hub where you could find useful, accurate, and reliable information from a trusted source – a Breast Health Doctor – all in one place.

That’s exactly what you’ll find here on my YouTube Channel.
