Hi Tania
When I was diagnosed in 2011 I feltthe same. It feels like you are in a bad dream. It is an illness not a death sentence. It is good to hear that the operation will be scheduled soon.
You can normally keep your nipples but that does depend on where the cancer is and how close to the surfac. Mine was close to the skin and also close to the nipple but my doctor was able to save the nipple luckily it was out side the 2 cm margin they cut to makesure the cancer had not spread.
Remember you found it early this is a good thing despite everything associated with cancer. The treatments are getting better.
I am not from WA but if you need to chat please feel free.
