masectomy

CONGRATULATIONS on your good news in time for Christmas !

I hope you are having a wonderful day and are able to enjoy being with your little children, even if you take rest breaks now and then.

I agree with Natasha - it is far easier to be open about your scar.  I found it helped me if friends asked to see my scar as I gradually became less self-conscious about it all.  This is my first Christmas without 'rightie' so know just how you are feeling.

Don't wait - let your husband see it NOW.  The longer you wait the harder it will be as it will build up in your mind - and no doubt his.  Besides, he can take on the role of your masseur once the scar heals over - and that has its own benefits !

You are still you - with or without that breast - and what is a scar after all ?  At least it is not on your face where all can see it !

I hope you have seen a nurse and have received your My Care Kit with the soft Berlei bra.  I wore baggy shirts until I felt comfortable in that bra with the soft form.

Personally I chose not to go with any reconstruction but I must be a lot older than you as 'little children' would be my grandkids !

Please take care of yourself.  Enjoy the festive season.

Kind thoughts to you

Summer  :-)
