Hope your consult went as expected today @Josephine66 and that you now have a plan in place. While waiting for my surgery I caught up on all my housework doing a big spring clean even though it was the beginning of winter. I cooked lots of meals and froze them and I shopped for new button down or very loose nightwear that was easy to access post surgery. I didn’t have a mastectomy however, I had a lumpectomy. I read all I could and educated myself on this disease. I chatted to all the lovely people on here who gave me great advice and I connected with a few friends who have gone through the same thing. I found that I needed to stay busy. In between every now and again I would have a good cry. I still do because let’s face it, this is a shit deal and who really wants to cope with it. Let us know how it went for you xx Lesley
