Hi @Leilani, Welcome to the forum, its unfortunate that you have to be here but you will find everyone here understands how you feel and what you are going through even though each of us are on our own journey. Its a great place to rant, rave, cry and laugh with others who get how you feel. I was numb and in shock at the beginning as well with my mind jumping in overtime and imagining the worse scenarios but I found once a plan of action had been formulated at least I could move forward. I can't say enough for the breast care nurses and their support through everything and hopefully you too will have that same fantastic support system with them. After 2 surgeries and ongoing chemo I too will be up for a mastectomy like yourself next month. Do whatever you feel is right for you and just do whatever you have too to keep your mind occupied whether its going for walks or watching TV over the next week or too. My thoughts are with you. xox
