Hello welcome the forum it is not somewhere any of us chose to be without this diagnosis.
I had a double mastectomy with no reconstruction, my choice I could of had a single.

Others will give you a few suggestions ...
DO you have a My Journey Kit https//www.bcna.org.au/resources/
Do you have a breast Care Nurse? https//www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au/OurMission/OurNurses/FindANurse.aspx
I was 52 went through surgery then 9 months of chemo then 6 weeks of Radiation I am now 5 years out and cancer free.
