Hi, my name is Laura and I am 34 years old and have just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer for the 2nd time. I am hoping to communicate/meet people who are experiencing similar feelings and emotions ...
Thanks for your reply. Did you have chemo the second time cos there were nodes involved or because of the pathology of the tumour?
I think there are issues with one or no boobs. For me I just dont want to in this situation again and have to be making decisions. Part of it is fear of it coming back but part of it is just getting it over with once and for all. As the surgeon said, there was a 90% chance it wouldn't come back in this breast and it did.
If I only have one off then I am worried that I will still be thinking all the time if I should get the other off, whereas if they both go then that is it.
I am going to have periods of really intense sadness whatever happens. Still cant really get my head around the fact that I have breast cancer a second time.
The sun is coming up. x
