Hi everyone

You sound very organised. I have only just got my wig now and am slowly getting used to wearing it. It is getting more comfortable and I like having the option of hair in public situations. My daughter told me she does not really notice if I am wearing the wig or my turban hat as I am still just Mum to her! It did not really worry me about having the mastectomy as I just wanted the cancer gone. Also my husband has been very supportive and reassuring. He set my mind at rest with the question 'would I stop loving him if he had to have surgery for some reason.' I have not worried since he said that. I will probably have reconstruction down the track but feel fine about wearing a prosthesis for now. It was just a good feeling to get rid of the cancer! We have a friend who lost his eye to cancer and I have always felt that losing a breast is not as bad. It's just how you think about things sometimes that can make a situation better or worse. I am lucky to have great support from family and friends. There are actually a lot of positive things that have come out of this so far. I hope you find the same. Keep smiling when you can and let others help out when the going gets tough. Take care. Deanne xxoo
