Confused about Reconstruction options

Thanks so much @Rose18. It’s a whole new world to me. My mum died young (but a long time ago) and while I’ve always supported breast cancer events and Charities I’ve never wanted to know too much about the finer details cause it’s always scared the absolute cr@p out of me. And now here I am, forced into a crash course and trying to take it all in. I feel like I’ve struck gold with this forum though. I have a good support network, but have yet to tell my immediate family and very close friends who live on the other side of the world. This will break their hearts and I’m not sure I want to ruin their Xmas either. Might see what happens on Weds and take it from there. Everyone seems to say the same on here - one step at a time.....probably really good advice seeing as this journey could take me anywhere.....
