DD-Day...
I know it's been a while, but there's been lots of "stuff"! Well it probably hasn't been that long, but time is somehow warping around me, distorting days & weeks, giving me the sense of time passing...
I love your sense of humour and am sure that and the fact that you have a clear plan will hold you in good stead.
I also had my reconstruction at the time of mastectomy and for me it made a huge impact from the moment I went with that decision. (My husband wasn't so sure when it ended up being a 5-6 hour surgery as opposed to the estimated 3-4!!) Although my post surgery recuperation may have been a little slower and so chemo didn't start until week 7, I have not regretted that decision - must admit I have only had 2 of 6 chemos but then that's a third of the way.
Go for the hair treatment - nothing like a great head massage, etc and then it could be a precurser to a new style wig!! Mine is now falling out so fast that it is the floor lining that annoys me not any stray strands across my face or forehead!!
Good luck with it all and take very special care, Dette xxx
