Hi Rachel, I'm so sorry to hear your latest news. It must seem all so overwhelming at the moment, but just to let you know that we are here to try and support you. You probably know that we have a breast reconstruction group on this site and this might be a useful group for you to join to read about other's reconstruction experiences and to find out more information about the various options available. If you'd like to join this group just click on the join button under the breast reconstruction group logo on the right hand side of this page and then write a brief message about why you'd like to join and one of the facilitators will get back to you as soon as they can.
