Hi.
I didn’t speak to anyone but just personally I haven’t found the mastectomy to be an issue at all as I had the immediate reconstruction.
I went to sleep with a cancerous boob and woke up with a cancer free one. I feel like it’s my own (it is but from my tummy) but that my boob has been operated on.
So I wasn’t really party to the mastectomy bit as I was out cold.
I am a very squeamish, nervous person about anything medical, so it’s amazing what we can cope with when we have to. Those calm deep breaths have been my saviour lately.
Best of luck. You can definitely do this, whatever your this turns out to be xx
