Hi Sue, I had a right mastectomy in February this year, and have had chemo and rads following the surgery. They removed a 6cm lobular tumour as well as a separate ductal tumour that involved my right nipple. The surgeon also removed 17 lymph nodes and there were 5 nodes found with cancer in them. So far so good, my scans don't show cancer anywhere else in my body, so I'm very lucky to have a second chance at life. I now have a breast form in a fitted bra and I'm told that people can't tell that I look any different. I also have breast form especially for my bathers, and so I do feel pretty normal with this sort of support. I wear a wig, and that gives me confidence, as I lost all of my hair, it's now starting to grow back. Approach your treatment 1 appointment at a time and it will be less distressing for you to deal with. I'm sending you a huge cuddle and lots of positive vibes, Trace ??????
