Nervous and feeling vulnerable.
Well ladies. I am getting quite nervous about my coming double mastectomy due 10th Sept. Today I went in for my pre-admission appointment at St Vincent's and it has hit home that the loss of my breast...
I think I also have this to come in the months ahead.....still making big decisions about radiotherapy vs mastectomy etc. I sill have 1 cycle of chemo to go (will be 6 altogether). Our poor brains can only comprehend one thing at a time, so I'm finding it hard having to start thinking about surgery again before the chemo is over (have already had 2 surgeries...lumpectomy and then re-excision...margins were good but extensive LCIS). This board is great for being able to chat to people who understand! Best wishes over the next few weeks. I also find meditation and quiet time/ practicisng mindfulness helps. Ngaire
