I was diagnosed with breast cancer last week. I'm 47 with 2 children and I'm at the stage of this journey of feeling scared, tearful and trying to make sense of it all!! I'm gradually telling friends but if I hear one more time "you're young and healthy and positive" I think I'm going to scream! I run my own business so I'm also concerned about keeping that going. I'm having a mastectomy next month - can anyone on here let me know how long it takes to recover? (I know everyone is different but it would help to have an idea). Also can you drive straight-away? Just would appreciate some support from those of you who are out the other side of this nightmare!! Thanks ladies. x
