Tough day. Hope you are ok x

Thank you. I have been diagnosed with grade 2  iinvasive ductal cancer also pre cancerous cells. Need a mastectomy, just waiting for HER2 result to see if I need chemo first. I actually feel strangely calm now I know what I am dealing with! 

So very sorry to read that. Have a hug xx

There’s just nothing fair about it is there. I hope you get your Her2 results very soon. There will always be someone here to chat with you xx

Gooner 

get that Lippy on and out the door lol you are beautiful inside and out 

LCR 

that’s amazing you found that surgeon imagine paying 30,000 , iM sure you will have your make up on by end of week xx 

I will! My hairdresser just popped in with some flowers for me and I’m going to book to go the the salon and have a wash and blow dry to make me feel a bit more normal next week xx

Ooh lovely ! Xx

That’s so lovely of your hairdresser , they are so important , n actually In hairdresser now having my roots done in grey from holidays 

my hairdresser was amazing around my time when I bought wigs she cut them exactly the same as my hair put so much effort in and I didn’t use them afterwards xx 

I decided to have reconstruction as every time I undress it reminds me .Prosthesis were  good but when we had that hot weather I went flat ,so hot then 

Have they told you how long the waiting list is in your area? 

That’s useful to know. Jolamine recommended the breast forms that M&S sell, and I’m going to try those as they aren’t expensive.

I completely get what you mean about undressing- I just need to see how I go.

I was told three to four months ,I am going for the silicone implants .Less recovery time ,as I live on a farm life goes on and can’t be out of  action too long .Seeing surgeon on 7.November and hoping to have a date .

When I first had my mastectomies ,I didn’t think I would go for reconstruction,I went flat for many months .When the warmer weather came ,I felt some clothes fitted better with breasts .

I think it’s a very personal thing ,take your time and see how you feel . I wear the cheap sports bras ,you can take the pads out and pop prosthesis in ,very comfortable too xx
