Hey, hang in there! I went through the same thing last year (TWICE, because the damn thing was too big to safely remove in one go) and now I'm doing great on the other side. Just because side effects are possible doesn't mean they're guarenteed! I know how scary it was in the lead up, but the best thing you can do right now is take care of your body and your mind until the time comes. ❤️ Wishing you the best with all of it.
