Hi, My name is Margaret I have lived 50 years in this world, and I had my left breast removed in August 2009, I hate my prothesis, it is so hot, heavy and makes my chest and arm ache.((Lymthoma) spelling!. I also had six moths of chemo, 5weeks of radiation. My body is not the same, either is my self esteem. I struggle everyday, and that is just the begining not to forget to mention, early menapause and every thing associated with that. I take off my bra as soon as I can but looks weird with one boob! hahah. ohhh the joys, however I have my life and try and do the positives as much as I can. It has changed my marriage and am in the procees of getting marriage counselling. I have good days and bad days, but I had them before my diagnosis. Glad for this site and for all who share their hearts, thank you. x
