Plastic Surgeon today...was cool and calm...now petrified and teary...

So glad you are happy with your plan Melinda and it is great that you can keep most of your breast.  It sounds like you have an excellent surgeon - so important to have someone who takes the time to make sure everything is understood.  Goodness knows its hard enough having to go through a mastectomy but having trust in your surgeon helps.  I was so lucky to have my mum with me through out my diagnosis and surgery and she was wonderful.  But I did miss my dad who I lost 9 years ago.  I was always his girl and a dad hug was so missed.  Mel, I am sure you mum is watching over you and she would be so proud of your amazing strength.    Jane xx
