Hello everyone.

My dear Louise, How wonderful to 'see' your photo story. It has really given me hope that I can look almost normal again. It's really a sense of relief. I am still struggling with whether to make the decision and have both breasts off but I'm certain that there is a light at the end of this very long tunnel after seeing your photo journey. By the looks of it, your family are similar to mine. I have a wonderful husband and a 25 year old daughter and a nearly 23 year old son. I'm 54 years old but I didn't feel that age (I've been told I looked younger) before this all happened. Now I feel like I'm twice that age, put on lots of weight and what little wisps of hair I have left on my head are white! I know this will change my future but you have made it easier to bear. Thank you again for sharing a very intimate part of yourself. With lots of love. Janey xxx
