Hi Michelle, you will find so much support on this sight. Check and see if you have a Janne Mc Grath breast nurse in your area, I found mine so supportive and will be able to help you through this. Order My Journel Kit through the BCNA , it has so much information in it that will help you. Make sure you have someone with you at your appointments.

I found out I had breast cancer in March last year. It was such a roller coaster ride. I had a mastectomy last year and full node clearance. Every one is different, I chose a mastectomy , rather than having a lumpectomy . That was what I felt was right for me. In July I had a hysterectomy as a precortion and 3 weeks ago had the other breast off as a precortion. Now starting reconstruction.
I could not have got through the past year without the support of all these wonderful ladies. When I was felling down would get on and let it all out , really helps. I am just starting to see light at the end of the tunnell.
Take care Debbie.
