Feeling overwhelmed
This is my first post - here is a summary of my story. I was first diagnosed with DCIS in my LEFT breast in 2011 and again in 2015 with removal of the affected area both times. The second time there...
Hi there I was diagnosed may last year with TNBC in my left boob. Took it off so I only had to have chemo (8 rounds over 16 weeks) and not rads as well. Then decided 6 months later to take the other boob off as a prophylaxis even though the surgeon didn't feel it necessary but was supportive of my decision to reduce risk. My gut instinct told me to do it. I don't regret it. You will recover you will find the strength to get through it and side effects are different for everyone. Rest assured it is doable. You have been through hell and back that's for sure you are obviously a really strong woman so this will be the next phase in your bc journey you'll get there Margie
