Bilateral mastectomy

Wow, I'm home 24hours after my surgery! I'm feeling good, not much pain, but then again I'm keeping on top of it with the drugs they gave me. I have 2 drains in and find that to be the worst part at the moment. I feel so bare and basic. Like a mannequin. It's bizarre to look down and not see my d cups? I have nothing where my boobs used to be and that's freaky. I have no hair and no boobs, I'm not feeling so feminine right now but that's ok, this is all temporary. My hubby loves me, my kids love me and my family loves me. I'm still me on the inside and I'm still here so gotta be happy with that

    Love your attitude. You sound like you are coping extraordinarily well. I know there is no scientific evidence to say that a positive attitude helps with an illness like this but I say it can't hurt so keep smiling that lovely smile and every day will get better and better. Lots of love Janey xxx
