Hi I thought I would start a new thread in case anyone is in a similar boat … I had a breast reduction August 21st but they didn’t get margins so a mastectomy is now booked . I had considered diep but a few medical issues meant that surgery didn’t feel right for me . Having this next op October 4th . Anyone else with pending surgery ? Anyone else going down this implant route ? My cancer was picked up at an annual mammogram … I’m aged 50 and this was my third assessment … I had got on a family history programme … they found stage 1 but when operating there was a stage 2 area that has been removed .
Thank you for getting in touch @amp257 I am sorry you’ve not yet had a response to your comment. I’m sure someone will be along shortly to continue the conversation.
In the meantime you might be interested in our someone like me services - the Someone Like Me phone service can put you in touch with a volunteer who can support you by telephone. You’ll speak to someone who’s had a similar experience to you, who has finished their treatment and has been trained to help. We also have a Someone Like Me email service where a volunteer will support you by email correspondence.
Best wishes
