Feeling sorry for myself!

Hi - have recently had two breast conserving ops. First op included axillry clearance of lymph nodes  (had chemo first which has eradicated the lump completely). Both ops have shown that I still have non-invasive cells - therefore have been recommended that I need mastectomy as taking more breast tissue would result in having a very uneven breast (A cup).  Followed by 3 weeks of radiotherapy.  Even though I have been told that this will remove the cancer completely - can’t help feeling really anxious - keep crying, am at times a complete wreck.  I’ve been really positive since I was first diagnosed in March!  Not quite sure what’s going on with my emotions!  Any advice would be completely appreciated!

Hi Joanne,

I’m not surprised you are feeling emotional right now. You have already had two lots of surgery, now another looms! I’m afraid I can’t help with your situation, but wanted to give you some kind of support and reassurance . I know it may not seem like it at the moment, but when you have had the MX and radiotherapy, you will probably feel more positive. Perhaps then you could consider a reconstruction.

Sending hugs and best wishes.
