every morning
Hello pink ladies
Have not participated for a while but still here and read every morning what and who is adding to the site. I feel sorrow with every new person and especially the young ones.

I am only halfway through this BC experiance and so far have found the things I have been the scaredist of after the fact have been much better than I imagined.
Last week I was expecially down and crying a lot (the fertility preservation part of the journey threw me for a complet six) so a friend of mine out of the blue took a day off work to get me out of the city for a day. I didnt have to do anything apart from get dressed and hop in her car! Finding motavation when down can be hard..
We went out and walked around a beautiful park and I felt so much better for it.
I hope that you find something to help just tune out and refresh before your surgery. I dont know if this is something you want to do but looking at nice tastefull photos of cancer survivors scars helped me a lot as the results were much different than I imagined. Google The SCAR Project if you would like to do the same.
A lady I know through work had a single mascatomy and was telling me that she was plesently surpirsed that she can lay down in bed in many more comfortable ways now without a boob in the way - I didnt even know she had had a mascatomy! People on the other side of this all seem to say they felt the same and are now dealing with it and happy. Keep in mind this is your future too. You will ajust in time as crazy as that sounds now :)
Please keep sharing here. There are so many lovely ladies here and we are all rooting for you.
*hugs*
