Hi @Romla thank you sharing such an amazing and inspiring story! What a wonderful woman to have met.
@sister I just read your blog post - so sorry to hear about your traumatic day. Thank goodness your husband was there for you. Please let us know how you go on Thursday.

Thanks for asking how I'm going. Still traipsing around to appointments and getting info. Had my first appt with the plastic surgeon today. Discussing immediate DIEP after double mastectomy but he won't do immediate if I need rads. Interestingly my breast surgeon told me he didn't think I would need rads but the plastic surgeon said he thought it at 70% chance it will be recommended to me. Now I'm wondering - if it is recommended, will I actually do it? Is there a choice? Ah well next step is back to the Breast surgeon, CT scan of blood vessels to see if they'll suit a DIEP then will need to make some decisions!
