I'm going through the same on the 15th of jan I also have an invasive lump. I have opted for DIEP is I was told if radiation was needed the implant would need to be taken out there for another operation. I find it all very daunting also. I hope the mange to get enough. I'm 44 and a size 10. 
Wishing you all well on your journeys

Hi Niki,

It is daunting but you will get through it and in a couple of weeks will have the hard part behind you. It is good that you have a date for the surgery as I think waiting whether it's for results or appointments or surgery is very hard. Everything happens so fast too that it's hard to get my head around it all especially when mine was discovered with no symptoms at all. 

The best of luck for the 14th of Jan. We will all be thinking of you. Incidentally did they encourage you to put on weight beforehand or does it make a difference? 

Was there anything they suggested you do to prepare for the surgery?
