Quietly Freaking Out - Lumpectomy in less than two weeks
Hi. Diagnosed mid October with invasive ducal breast cancer, early stage 2. Decided to have a lumpectomy followed by radiation. Surgery in two weeks and I probably should not have googled results when...
This is scary stuff and we all have to deal with it the best we can. Part of that is to hold yourself in high esteem. Think well of yourself and your body. So disfigured doesn’t figure. Scars, probably. Chances are, they’ll be your record of surviving cancer. A badge of pride, like duelling scars used to be, although duelling was optional and cancer doesn’t give you too many choices! With any luck and a thoughtful surgeon, they’ll be small. Fear not, we are still who we are, scars or no scars, boobs or no boobs. Very best wishes.
