Well our dear Shirley has said it all really, but i will say the my journey kit from bcna is a godsend and has all the information you need at your fingertips,and its free so make sure you order it. The waiting to see surgeons etc, is always the worst, and yes a week feels like a year, your reactions of taking the breasts off are normal, but i am sure like everyone you will go through a lot of emotions and decisions before you make the final one. I was diagnosed in 2008, and had a lumpectomy, chemo, radiotherapy and am also no on Arimidex for 5 years, and have just found out i now have osteoporosis (a side effect of Arimidex, which i had to get lol), I wish you luck on your journey, and please keep comming back, this is a great site with a wealth of information from women who are going through it or have travelled it, and we know everyon is different, but we do have breast cancer in common, feel free to add me to you contacts, Good luck we will be thinking of you.
