My mum had a lumpectomy on 28 Dec but we discovered last week that there is another tumour in her breast so this time the surgeon has suggested a mastectomy. He hopes that afterwards she may not need radiotherapy so that would be a bonus. She is booked in to have the operation on Thursday and is really laid back and pragmatic about the whole thing. On the other hand I am really upset about this and feel as if I am being really self absorbed. I haven't told her that I feel so angry and depressed about it all but as we are very close she probably knows. Has anyone else any experience of this?
