Hi @EI.mumof2
It's certainly a scary experience from the day we were told we have cancer. We feel shocked, disbelief, anger, scared, upset...... following with lots of tears. It's a roller coaster we would never want to ride on.
I was diagnosed December last year at 40years old with 2 children (breastfed both of them), no family history, living in a healthy and happy life. I had 2 lumps removed from right breast, which showed LCIS covered the whole tissue removed. I was given options of radiotherapy or single mastectomy. I was really worried about my left breast. I had MRI recently, i was shocked that it found another lump in my left breast. I had biopsy last week and will find out the results today. I am waiting for double mastectomy as well.
Good luck with your appointment today. We will get through this scary roller coaster together. There are so many inspirational women and men here. You can join the "choosing breast reconstruction " group. There are lots of support out there as well. I went to Breacan spoke to the volunteers who had experience with BC and ovarian cancer. I was connected by the cancer connect program at cancer council Australia with two women who are similar my age with similar experiences. One woman had mastectomy with implants reconstruction, the other had mastectomy with flap reconstruction. We shared our experiences and had lovely conversations over the phone. It made me feel so much better to talk to someone who had similar experiences. It helped me in the process making decisions what type of reconstruction is best for me.
Lots of love and hugs for you!
