It's started!
I had almost started to make myself believe that I might not lose my hair after all...how silly! Even after a couple of beautiful people on this site shared their experiences I still hoped I wouldn'...
I find this website a bit tricky to drive around as far as finding messages, and it all seems scattered, but I just stumbled across this one Teresa.
My Mum had breast cancer at 55, she is now 73. I was more devasted at the time than she was, I was still at a selfish age. She had one breast removed. I still remember refusing to see the scar, when she arrives this time, I will ask to see it.
But in the back of my mind I always found my breasts so annoying - theyre too large, and have hindered my lifestyle all my adulthood. I thought, if I ever get breast cancer, I hope I can have them both off. For a couple of reasons, My Mum is also a large women too, we are size F (Im size 14 in clothes and have back issues). Never been able to wear a light strap or sexy bra for the last 10 years, and now they droop too.
My Mum has had to stick a fake boob into here bras, make the trips back and forth 4 hours each way to Adelaide for fittings, and as far as I was concerned it has been a pain in the backside for her.
But having just had only a tumour to remove, I sigh and think uggg, wish I could have a breast reduction! Maybe I should be careful what I wish for!
But would I be truly happy with both off, after this year, I shall see what I think.
I think Id be accepting off it, and enjoy the freedom it would give me! I think.......tough one!
