Hi @TeePee. Welcome to this forum. I hope you find it as warm and supportive as I have.
Can I suggest you ask to join the Choosing Breast Reconstruction group here? I had a double mastectomy and reconstruction at the end of April and that closed group was a tremendous help to me. It can be very confronting, but it's wonderful to work through a very particular set of concerns with women who have been there and are honest about it.
Hang in there. It will get easier once you know your treatment plan. Be honest and open with your kids, age appropriately, and they'll be OK. Don't let them backslide! My being incapacitated on and off during my treatment taught my four a new set of independent skills that they've maintained because I haven't gone back to the way it was before!
Accept all the help you're offered, and be kind to yourself. K xox
