July 16 2012 is my operation date when I have my mastectomy

Hi all I've been reading all of your blogs, experiences and life changes very keenly, now I know when I have to go through it. I'm very nervous but at the same time i find its the waiting and not knowing the full pictures the hardest for me.

Blog Entry
Hi all I've been reading all of your blogs and comments with a sense of pride we women are extremely strong in a crises I don't know how we do it but we do it every time without failure we are all fighters and we all have the same ambition and that's to live the life we want. This ladies is my second cancer my first was non hodgkins lymphoma so you can guess I certainly was not not prepared to fight as much as I did the first time again. But this time it feels really personal, because when I have my Mx I'll be wondering, thinking are people looking at me because I look different and I'll be checking myself in the mirror just to make sure. I'm hugely disappointed I can't have reconstruction straight away because 3 of the 13 lymph nodes they removed had the cancer, and my Bcn said it was very unlikely but I'm seeing my consultant this coming Friday for confirmation, but now I'm thinking should I ask for implants but then I've read if you have to have radiotherapy they can become damaged, any thoughts, suggestions great fully received Love to all Amandax
