Bye bye boobs

Just know that there's no right or wrong way to deal with it. Just flow with how you feel and hopefully you'll find yourself in a peaceful state of mind, that is once the food is under control and the washing, ironing, cleaning and so it goes............domestic bliss, and wondering if you've packed enough pairs of knickers for hospital and did I remember the toothpaste, do my toenails need cutting and so it goes..........there's a lot to keep you occupied.
Allow others to help if needed. Don't overdo it! Also have an emotional gatekeeper so that the well meaning silly statements, like "but I've had cancer twice you know", to which I said well you win as this is not a competition and walked away thinking to myself well you've been there and don't know how to handle me telling you I have breast cancer, goodness me!!
