Hi All, am new to all this blog stuff as have never "posted" in my life before so here goes. 2014 has been one hell of a year I'll be glad to see the back of. Diagnosed with cancer and a mastectomy and reconstruction followed by chemo has been pretty daunting to say the least but each phase has its own little gremlins. Mine haunting me at the moment is the shape of my reconstruction. I'm very grateful to still be here and living a "normal" life, however I feel like I'm blindfolded at the moment because I don't know what my new "normal" is. I have seen pictures on line from bcna of one person but don't know if that is their "best picture" they show or is it the average look. My shape is far from normal and even tho I know it was never going to look like a normal breast I felt I should be able to get into a regular bra and wear normal summer clothing and look ok from the outside. Am I being naive I don't know as I haven't met anyone in my situation. I do know that breast cancer is like an epidemic now but still have not met anyone in my situation to talk to. Would dearly love to catch up with a group of people for a face to face coffee morning if that's possible before this gets me to a point where where I'm really struggling. Anyway besides all my whinging I plan on having a good Xmas and wish you all the same. Meg
