Thank you for reminding us of this Kerr Kerr...confidence certainly shot after rhe blurr that is our BC Journey. Your comparing the removal of the breast by the surgeon as akin to removing a splinter...you nailed that one on the head for sure...I could so relate...and was only given half an hour to decide weather I wanted a mastectomy or more tissue taken and chemo and radiation, couldnt think about it overnight...no my surgeon needed to know before I left his office. One can feel so powerless. When I mentioned I was worried about the cancer spreading to my other breast the surgeon offered to take it also like it was no problem! Easy..just let me know. Nah sorry...research and making choices based on information given is your right as it's your body. We become braver...our confidence returns and we are changed eventually for the better. All the best with your journey.
