Mastectomy - flat and fabulous or reconstruction. Shared experiences

@poppy261 hello you ! you did it again ! i love reading your replies… notes. they are full of warmth and optimismn ! and just really great written !! they make me smile. so- thank you so much, for your note and sharing your thoughts and personal experiance !
yes ! i so do agree with you, this bond we have on here and share is so wonderful and powerful… empowering. its fabulous and so very important
the AFTER (the OPs) is the easy part now. it really was tough to had all the time beforehand. my mind just sufforcated me but i left all this behind me now. so on that front im so very lucky !!! and im enormously grateful for this… but there is never peace in my mind… i constantly struggle to come up to breathe… this world and all those crazy insane happenings just drive me insane but that is my thanatophobia and nothing to do with why im on here…
it is just so much… i think getting older now brings even more fears… its a never ending nightmare…
yes, i did ask a few women on here regarding only having one breast (the effected one) removed. it is insane in my view and must be another huge worry on top of all those many other things you have to deal with allready ! i truly believe each woman should have the full right on the decision of removing one or both of her breast. thall call should NOT been made by the doctors- is insane really. and i genuinly feel for you and all the women, who find themselve in this situation !!
it is interesting, how different things are dealt with in different countries… we did live 20 years in the uk and i still concider it as my home but in those 20 years i only had one op (thank goodness) so my main ops took place here in DK. obviously we had to find out they way of treatment aso regarding our daughter who still lives in the uk from afar here in DK and there were certainly some scary happenings… but she has come through all this… she had to- she didnt had a choice, like so so many women on here…
i would like to return all your well wishes back to you and hope that you will find the strength -mentally and physically - to deal with the BEAST and fight it ! but i read you as a powerhouse of resilliance and i think you will continue to put up a damn fight to get better AND continue to support others on this amazing, so important forum !!! you give so much to others on here… and this is the beauty of this forum… we all give so much to each other… some in small, some in huge ways but all do matter so very much… and i love that so much…
long , deep HUG and much love,
tanja
