Confused

I had a mastectomy. It was painful enough to cope with. I couldn't imagine having both done. I wish a lumpectomy was an option for me. At the time my lump was too big. Cancer makes us all panic but maybe if we slowed down enough we can make better long term decisions. That's my experience. I am a bit down now because I have just started radiation and wished I had not agreed to it so readily. It was recommended but I was a borderline case. At the time of my surgery my son was one year old and loved to be carried. So when times got desperate I would pick him up on my other side. I was thankful I could do this. It just takes longer to get over a bilateral mastectomy. All the best with your treatment. i have a blog myjourneyupdate.wordpress.com
