To return to the OP, some advice from a therapist:
When feeling apprehensive,remember that bravery only works in particular areas of behaviour, does not apply to all .
Do not delay starting down this necessary path.Needless delay only increases apprehension.
Prepare yourself. Learn about proper deep breathing,using the whole body. [Someone who does Yoga will be able to show you] Do a slow session daily. At the same time concentrate only on the present minute ,a form of mindfulness.You will build up the ability to switch off,calm the body and mind together.
Now is the time to start,so that by the time you have surgery you will be able to use this technique very easily
