Bilateral Mastectomy, Expanders then Silicon Implants

Hi Everyone

I am 49 and was diagnosed 2 weeks ago with invasive cancer in calcium "clouds" in several areas of left breast. Having a bilateral mastectomy (I want symmetry, I know I don't need the right one off)  this Friday with immediate reconstruction. Trying to use the time prodcutively to get everything out of the way and organised before I begin this wild ride. Feel  perfectly well so it is hard to accept it. Have three teenage daughters and a husband. 

Already amazed at the support people are so prepared to offer, including on this website. Women who have been through it and could easily put it all behind them are so willing to give their time to others at earlier stages.

Want to get moving and get the pathology back and know more about what I'm dealing with here. Fingers crossed.

Sonya
