i have been where you are now. I was diagnosed in july 2011 at only 27. I only had one breast off but the tumor was 10cm in my left breast. operation was actually easier than i had thought. I had the full dose of chemo and radiation starting in august 2011. i couldnt have reconstruction immediately but i am planning to have it eventually. im actually only days away from finishing radiation!!! im on tamoxifen for 5 years to stop cancer coming back. the ladies here are awesome so much information and they genuinely care about people who are going through the same thing.
The time doesnt feel like it will go fast at the start but things do get better. Good luck!!
