Hi everyone. For the first time tonight I've cried since I had my diagnosis and surgery.
Had lumpectomy on 28 th march. Went well and pleased with the external scars.
But tonight while I showered I felt aroundy breast now that the swelling have gone down a little and was horrified by what I felt below the surface of the skin.
The hard jaggied edges and gapping dent that was once my breast and look ok on the surface but is so different below, that it makes me feel sick to touch. How can I expect my partner to touch if if I can't.
I know it's early days and still have more treatment ahead, but how do you deal with the feelings of loss and discuss at your own breast.
Have been so strong up till now.
Have any of you had reconstruction surgery after lumpectomy and if so did you feel happier with your breast after
My surgeon was dismissive of reconstruction being needed. So not sure where to go and who to ask.
