Sorry for calling you Jess :)
Yes it is hard to adjust to how our bodies have changed. I can't help focusing on the scars but it's only early days really and in a year or two I'm hoping that they will have faded. My mum mentioned that I should do Tai Chi so I might look into that.
I spent several months deciding whether to have reconstruction and also whether to have my healthy breast removed. I knew that I would be putting myself through a lot more trauma and I wasn't sure I could. But I finally decided that I couldn't face having the scars without having breasts to show for it if you know what I mean and I wanted to get everything over with rather than wait. Looks like I'm going to have to wait anyway for the final surgery. Oh well.
Like you I'm too scared not to take the hormone tablets for fear of having it come back again so I believe the 5 to 10 years is the lesser of the two evils.
Take care and keep having those 'me' times.
Love Janey xxx
