Hi I also had 2 lumpectomys and then they decided that they couldn't achieve good margins A mastectomy was recommended, this sent me into a tail spin as this was not in the plan. Of course I had the surgery with reconstruction at the same time, yes it was a shock and the thought of losing my breast was hard to take but all I wanted was to have the cancer taken. I had my surgery in 2014 and I'm still getting used to my new breast, but the reality is I'm here and moving on.
Yes it is hard but you will get there one day at a time xxx
