Hi there
I had a double mastectomy with DIEP flap reconstruction 8 months ago and was an absolute mess leading up to the surgery.
I knew I had great surgeons and was in a fabulous hospital but anxiety is emotional not rational.I tried to keep busy heading up to the surgery.
I am really happy with my decision and the results.
Ask to join the “choosing breast reconstruction “private group on here it has a lot of stories and photos and you can post more specific questions there.
There is also a website ( and Facebook group ) Reclaim your Curves”.
Also worth listening to the Dr Charlotte Tottman podcast referred to above in announcements she is a psychologist specialising in cancer related distress who got beast cancer herself.
And you can post anything on here and we all “ get it” as have been there !!
Also there is a young persons private group on here too.
I am 63 and keep forgetting about that.
Take care🌺
