Coping after breast surgery

Hi had breast surgery 6 weeks ago, feel down, breast doesn't look the same, dent and scar, radiotherapy to start in 2 or 3 weeks where boob may shrink slightly. Feel alone and support dissappeared after I healed. Does anyone else feel the same, feel depressed as my partner decided to call it a day before my surgery.  Maybe best to return to work soon as LOCKDOWN doesn't help. Wanted to speak to other women who feel the same 

  • Hi amy

     

    I'm sorry to hear that, and I bet chemo is horrible. I think they can reconstruct your boob, have seen pics of this I know is still horrible though.

    That's good that your area does that, I hope you have alot of support and a good partner. 

    I was terrifed off surgery but the staff were lovely and you won't know about it, the nurses are lovely, sorry no consolation, I hope it goes OK and u make a full recovery and stay well.

  • Hi RIA. I'm seeing my surgeon tomorrow but he said right from the beginning that he doesn't want to do a reconstruction straightaway. Its depressing but I'm willing to do whatever they advise. I'm lucky that I've got support too, I don't think I could cope with all this on my own! Good luck with the rest of your journey 

     

  • Hi amy

     

    And you too, it will work out in the end, they know what there doing.  They probably do it when covoid is over.  

     

    Good luck with it all.
