Lump found 1 month ago now removal of breast

Hey Yollydolly, Sorry that you've made it here because of the BC, not sorry that you've made it to this fantastic network. Being self employed do you have income protection? If you have any loans with the banks check on those too as a lot will insist on income protection when you have your own business. As for the boobs - I thought mine were reasonable - could still pass the pencil test  ;) but after my mastectomy with implant reconstruction I have now entered the realm of SUPER BOOB!!!!! Bigger, stronger, perkier - able to leap .... ok maybe not quite that super! BUT sensational all the same. As for your personality - it may be taking a bit of a hit at the moment. When you have had your surgery and commenced whatever treatment plan, your personality will bounce back full tilt - it is what is going to get you through this!!!! And you will get through this. To have your own business you have to be strong and determined - to go through treatment you have to be strong and determined!!! As for your mum aging 10 years - don't I know that one. It's unbelievable the toll that this takes on our loved ones and you can watch them age in front of your eyes. They wouldn't want it any other way though. Let us know how you're getting on and when your surgery date is. Wishing you all the best. Xx Cath
