New to the forum

New to the forum, now 6 weeks post op.Had mastectomy with LD reconstruction.Not very good at talking but thought I would give this a go as we are all in the same boat so to speak.

Welcome to the forum, hope your recovery is going well? I am now nearly 14 weeks post op having had a mx with implant reconstruction. I find it useful to look on here, especially now that I am back at work and almost “back to normal” because though everyone thinks you are better the BC is always the first thing you think of in the morning and the last thing at night! Instead of talking about it to family and worrying them, you can discuss things with people on here! Xx

Thank you glad to here your back at work.im not ready for that just yet.I have seroma issues but lucky no chemo or rads but just about to start Letrozole xx
