Hi Jennie, I understand how you feel.. I had a mastectomy 5 days ago with a reconstruction at the same time. Just one overnight stay then home with a drain.

Have they offered you reconstruction?

No chemo or radiotherapy though.

What I can say is the all the hospital staff are wonderful and I would encourage you to speak with your Breast Cancer Nurse and tell them if your concerns. There is lots of support out there.

You will come through it as am I.

Good Luck with everything.
