Hi Karen,
your post bought a big smile to my face. It reminded me of where I was four years ago. My sister-in-law who is amazing came up to see me after my mastectomy. I told her we were going shopping to get my new boob. She was up for it. My mother-in-law was a bit horrified at first but we dragged her along and we all had such a laugh. The bra fitter was amazing and I now buy all my bras from her. She even managed to find me a sexy black number.
Two other great memories I have are my wig shopping days with my amazing daughter and two besties. We laughed so much. I had to have a wig for work and didn't wear it too much first time around as it was summer, but it was great at work. She was called Erica
When I had a recurrence we went off again to get a new wig (a short one this time) as my hair hadn't grown too long. Again we giggled and laughed. I think I am an expert on wigs now and so do my friends. The second one was called Madison, she got a few more outings as it was winter and she kept my head warm.
its funny isn't it, you are going through something so traumatic but having your friends by your side and sharing in it and having a giggle along the way makes it so much more bearable.
I wish you many more great mammaries. Really hope your treatment goes well.
Hugs
