Get connected day!

Hi Ree,

I can so relate with your sense of hiding and hoping it all fades away. I am nearing my 5 year mark yippee.. and now am looking at reconstruction. I have a marvellous family and great friends but they seriously thought my journey was over one of my friends said to me "are you still going through that" I laughed and said," yes this is my life". I still wake up every morning single breasted, come home from work throw off my prothesis and madly scramble to my room if someone knocks on the door unexpectantly. My husband is my rock he understands and is a master of balancing the look of my chest, my kids have never acted any differently so I  know I am very lucky. But I guess only those going through it can truly understand.Which is why this website is brilliant.  I am 43 years old and trying to decide if I go down the road of reconstruction with tissue expanders. Some days I am keen other days I tell myself not to be so vain.

You are so right about people not wanting to talk about it and for us it is hard, as it is now such a big part of us. We confront it every day. If you would like to talk anytime please contact me.
