Hi there!!! I just wanted to say, I hear you!! I've had it twice in 4yrs and I don't fit the criteria at all of what 'they say' in terms of being susceptible to getting breast cancer. Majority of women don't!! That's why its only important to do what feels good for you in terms of exercise and eating...everything in moderation I say! It doesn't discriminate. Until you have your lumpectomy and find out if you are ER- or + or Her2- or + will you know what your treatment will be. I had IDC last year stage 3. It is tough waiting!!! Im waiting for Christmas to pass for a scheduled Mastectomy/recon. Whilst I am grateful to enjoy Christmas, I want the whole thing over and move on!!!! Lisa I can say I too am upbeat but nothing prepares you for this journey...Ive learnt so much about myself, there are some incredibly difficult days and there are somedays where you are really OK. I initially looked at it that it was stripping me back physically, and in a way gave me a way to redefine myself. Boy is it tough!!!! to remain OK with a new look moving forward, feeling battered and torn. You are human, and the best thing you can do, is if you feel positive, be it, when you don't be that too!!! we are all of those things and we need to honor it all! Big breath, day and step at a time! Youve got this! Hugs Melinda xo
