No way....just been diagnosed for the 2nd time! Same boob. Same area....2 lumps....aarrgghh! Off for a masectomy in the next month or so......I am not sleeping as I have no freakin idea which way to go with reconstruction......Crying crying at home but so strong to the outside world....to hard!!!
Hi Kat,
First diagnosed dec 2007 and now again sept 2013. I had radiation only as it was DCIS. They are not sure if they can keep my skin (due to radiation) so it makes all my choices spin around in my head. I am leaning toward the positives of the tram flap ( smile at the idea of a tummy tuck). Then just thinking to go tissue expander til I really make up my mind. I have 2 small children and run my own small cleaning business. Busy lifestyle is totally being interrupted by this dreaded situation.

I am so sorry to hear your news. This is not what you expect to hear after all the treatments. I wish you well with your surgery.
cheers

Sorry to hear your news Kel. I've had BC twice but in each breast. Good luck with the mastectomy...you'll be fine. Take one step at a time and have a look at the group on here about Breast Reconstruction when you are ready to take that step.
I know it's hard and it's ok to cry. Stay strong,
