Hello again Moira. Your message is quite timely. So thank you. You also sound quite chirpy with your situation as it currently is. No doubt you have done lots of hard emotional processing to get this far and sound so good. The closer my surgery comes (Wed 1st Sep) I am feeling more and more a sense of impending loss over the shape and size of my breast. As a lumpectomy-expert yourself, are you able to comment on this? I am a bit fragile about this and am wearing my sexiest tops and bras until D-Day, feeling teary the whole time. Cynthia
