Hello @LeaF
Great to hear you will be well looked after, take care and all the best

Thanks beautiful people <3 at least I don't have a long wait and the hospital I will be in is a beautiful country private hospital with special Breast Care nurses and I'm very lucky to have 2 of them and they are just angels xxxx

It may not take the worry away but it's always good to know the direction that you're going in.  Take care.

@LeaF So good to hear you have your plan in place!! One step at a time. I am very proud of you making that decision & it sounds like the right one for you. That is the thing to remember, one plan isn't the same for everyone as we are all different & have different size cancers in different spots & with varying degrees of "danger". My DCIS cancer was low in my breast & even though it was invasive, my surgeon wanted to just do a lumpectomy & then she took tissue from below my breast to fill in the gap. I am small breasted too but both boobs look the same after the wonderful job she did. At least you have taken away any risk by having a mastectomy & if you have family history, then definitely the right decision. take one step at a time & focus on your surgery now & don't worry about what may happen after. We need to get you through next Tuesday & tick off that box. Try to stay positive this week, get some exercise, eat well & unless you have some good cooks around you, prepare some frozen meals as they come in handy when yo come home after surgery. Relax, sleep & take care of yourself this week. I still sleep with my pink pillow, it's the best thing to cuddle at night. Take care & stay strong & positive. Hugs xxxx

In the scheme of things, great news. You've got a starting point now, and not long to wait until surgery, so that's good too

So glad you have a plan @LeaF!
i remember feeling like I got a bit of control back once some decisions were made. I also chose a mastectomy (with immediate silicone implant) as I’m only small and wouldn’t have had much left after a lumpectomy!  You are almost there - a few more days until those little bitches are out of you!!  Sending a hug, Jane x

All the best for your surgery @LeaF xoxoxo

That's great .... you have a plan.  Wishing you all the best @LeaF . It's all so scary isn't it. The sooner that cancer is out the sooner you can get on. Sending hugs Xxxx
