Hey Donna - I'm new here too. Of course, that's why we're both awake so late! I underwent a mastectomy 5 weeks ago, just 2 weeks after diagnosis. What hell we endure! I'm so glad you have a loving and supportive family - lean on them. I've been told to learn to accept ANY offers of help and to take, and ask for time out when it's needed. I'll be starting chemo in the coming weeks and am terrified of that next step. I've heard that using ice gloves and booties helps stop neuropathy in fingers and toes, so I'll be doing that, and if you have any handy hints as you progress do share! Thinking of you. Karen
