I'm with @Joannie on this one @KiwiAngel, but give it your best shot.
If you've read my bio you'll see I have a dreadful family history and many responsibilities. I am having a bi-lateral mastectomy and reconstruction sometime in the next 4 - 8 weeks.

What about you? Any idea what happens after chemo?
