Hi Sharon
Welcome to the club that no one wants to join, but know that you will find heaps of information and support here from others that have been where you are. Great that you are not getting to far ahead of yourself just yet.
I was diagnosed in 2007 at the age of 36. My children were 2 and 4 at the time, so it was a bit of a struggle to get through chemo with young children and a new business, but I am here happy, healthy and better than ever before.
I chose a mastecomy and just last year had my healthy breast off and reconstruction on both (just for peace of mind).
Cancer is just a word and not a sentence, no doubt about it, it is a bumpy road, but you will have lots of people around for love and support, dont be afraid to ask for help, sometimes it is the simple things you need a hand with (maybe a dinner for the kids, someone to get some milk), I had trouble asking anyone for help initially but I got quite good at it now. lol
And to see some images of younger women missing breasts check out the scar project on the web. (sorry I dont have the address), but it is very tastfully done and I like to think that I wish I had seen this rather than the ones I saw too. And just think down the track you can always get a new set if you want??? There are lots of choices now days.
good luck and feel free to ask questions.
@Battybeth, nothing about your offer of support and love is inadequate, lots of people bring different things to your life, so enough of that crazy talk. xx
