Hi there! I was newly diagnosed Monday sept 18th of this year. I have grade 2 breast cancer and they are doing a lumpectomy plus removing 4 nodes to check deeper. My question is I'm trying to preserve my breast implants but heard radiation may not work as good with them in and it may make things trickier...., what is your experience or have any of you been in this predicament and how did things work out? Also I'm 41 separated from my ex a year October and American living in the U.K. 7 years now. If you want to contact most of my next of kin you would need a ouija board and I lost quite a few friends when he said he wanted a divorce so I'm pretty much alone outside of my chihuahua I've had since 6 weeks old who's 11 now and may have cancer himself. I know I'm strong enough to do this but lonely thinking I'll be going to all the treatments, the surgery everything myself. I have a small group of friends but they have kids/grandkids/jobs etc so are quite busy and one of my well intentioned friends said today when I broke the news "oh you got the good kind of cancer because it's easy to cure 😳! It's a very lonely feeling going through this on my own. I am also a two-time corneal transplant recipient in chronic rejection as well as I have hereditary pancreatitis and other issues and that's why my ex left me as he couldn't deal with it anymore
