    Hi @Geordie I feel the same. Recently had bilateral mastectomy, no lymph node removal because it was early and no chemo or radiotheraphy.  All so quickly done thankfully but a bit of a whirlwind.  I feel lucky it was found but guilty that others have to go through so much more treatment so maybe it is a bit like survivors guilt. I'm sure though that everyone is welcome here to support each other whatever their breast cancer experience. I'm still trying to process it all. Best wishes x

    Hi Poodle_Lady55 
    Yes I have mixed feelings of being a fake cancer survivor (large DCIS and told pre-cancer but needed mastectomy chose bilateral which I am very happy with) and feeling guilty too. 
    Until I was told no further treatment I had never heard of anyone not needing further treatment, and it's not mentioned anywhere I could see. Reassuring to know I'm not some odd bod thank you for your support.
