Hi @H_M_A welcome to a place where no one ever thinks they’ll need to come, but where you will be so loved and supported when you end up here. The best piece of advice my surgeon gave me was to tell my children that I had ‘treatable’ breast cancer. This helped to take the fear out of the diagnosis.
Also I took just over a week off work after my surgery. I was due to go back on a Monday, but casually went in on the Friday for a little while just to break the ice with everyone. That made Monday easier because I could get straight back to work. The funny thing was my close colleagues knew what had happened to me. However the office gossip had got the wrong end of the stick and thought I’d been away to get a boob job! If that’s the case I need a refund as one is smaller than the other 😊 All the best, once you have a plan for surgery/treatment your world will come back into focus for a while. We are all here for you xxx
