Hi Vivianne Vanessa, There are many young women on the network here who will be able to assist you and have also gone through or are going through the same issues regarding fertility etc. You are certainly not alone in this.

I too had a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using silicone implant so if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Have you ordered your my journey kit yet? If not here is the link :-
