Hi SamL890,
I really understand how you're feeling and my heart goes out to you.
I also found out recently that I have breast cancer, Lobular, in both breasts, it's such a shock.
I'm going to see a plastic surgeon tomorrow about my operation to have double mastectomy, as I have no choice in this matter.
But I'm slowly coming to terms with it all, especially with the help of the wonderful ladies here on this forum.
You'll find the specialists will decide what's best for you, trust them, but ask questions and DEFINATELY take someone with you to support you and write answers etc. down.
I know the waiting's SO hard, but the 19th will come, only 4 days to go, and whatever the result, try to remember, they have come a long way with breast cancers, and your specialist will know what to do, just go with it.
I was in a bit of a turmoil about a double mastectomy but now, it can't come soon enough, and I'm even thinking I'll go "flat" , life's more important, I might get prosthetics to wear in a bra when I venture out,
and whatever drugs I have to take or radiation, I'll face that when it comes.
I see your on the central coast, not far from me, I'm in Sydney. I'm seeing a specialist at the Mater Hospital.
Do you come down here? Or you seeing someone up there?
Good luck and know you're NOT alone xx <3
