Gosh @Locksley - what a shocker of a couple of months that you've had! That's a bummer you now have to have a mastectomy - but good that they are 'onto it'! Well done for seeing the counsellor - they should be able to give you 'coping strategies' if you get 'down'. Just try & keep as busy as you can doing things that you love doing (and within your capabilities specially in the early days after your surgery.)
What area do you live in (City/town/sate) as we may have members nearby who can guide you towards other services available in your town - or even meet up with for a cuppa once social distancing has been lifted. (You can add it to your profile by hitting the 'settings wheel' at the top right of your page.)
Throw up any questions that you think of - we have a wealth of informed members here who will be able to give you some answers.
I hope you have family & friends around to help support you, even in this time of lockdown. It could be a good idea to start cooking up some meals & freezing them, so you know you have dinners 'ready to go' after you are home from surgery? Unless your hubby is a good cook - and can leave it up to him!!
Take care, & all the best for you upcoming surgery xxx
