There is no set time frame for emotional recovery from breast cancer-we are all different. It may also depend on what treatments you had.With my first bout of breast cancer(7yrs ago)I had a lumpectomy.It probably took me about 18mths to feel confident again.I still had a boob and hair so life got back to normal.Last year cancer came back in the same boob so had to have a mastectomy followed by chemo. I don't recognize myself anymore.This bout has been harder on so many levels.It's one year on now and I don't feel very confident and there is a lingering numbness. I keep busy so as not to think too deeply about it all.I expect in time my confidence will return.Have you had any counselling?-maybe helpful. Blog on here any time -always someone to chat with.We all support each other cos we know what this journey is like
