Hello Stemac and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.
I'm really sorry to hear your wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. This must be very difficult and no doubt you're both feeling nervous about her upcoming surgery. I hope this information we have about having a mastectomy and coping with breast cancer will help you both at this time but if either of you would like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their helpline is open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to support you and answer any other questions you may have about the mastectomy.
Our forum is full of members who have been diagnosed with breast cancer too, so you and your wife are not alone Stemac, and hopefully some of them will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice.
We are here for you Stemac, so do keep posting if you find it helps and remember that we will be by your side on every step of this journey.
