What to say
Recently diagnosed with early breast cancer. Lots of tests and 2 operations later (complete left masectomy) I am told it hasn't spread and isn't in my lymph nodes. Hooray for small mercies. I am told...

just new and learning how to negotiate this site, but so nice to hear story like my own from someone close to my age. my masectomy booked for 6/10/2010. have had only 2 real reactions from family and friends, I call it the neuclear reaction, either shut down or melt down, I am a natural talker so have found discussing my journey helpful all round, others feel less uncomfortable and even ask questions and gives me less time to get depressed. The decision for reconstruction was an issue so told my doctor I wanted a one stop shop, she's not confident that this will happen, keeps talking further ops, but I have elected for a 1 stage implant. Does anyone know anything? I am a primary carer for my 2.5 year old grandson and am concerned that my recovery will limit his care. Any imfo would be great.
Have a great day, thanks
