Hi everyone,
I was diagnosed again today with breast cancer. I already had reoccurring breast cancer in January in the other breast but was told today it’s in the other one and spread to my lymph nodes. I feel like I’ve been hit by a train and so empty and alone. I’m having another mastectomy and the surgeon has suggested a new rebuild option using my chest muscle and animal fat. Has anyone had this?
Hi Dellan
I am sorry to read about your recent diagnosis, it sounds like a really tough time for you. Whilst you are waiting for the other users to reply with their knowledge and experiences may I suggest you give the BCC helpline a call on 0808 800 6000. Here you can share your thoughts and cocnerns with someone who will offer you a listening ear as well as emotional support and paractical informatiom. Lines are open Monday to Friday 9 to 5pm and Saturday 10 to 3pm.
