Hello,
I hope everyone is OK.
I am new to this site and wanted to join for a couple of reasons. I was wondering if I could be of help to anyone as I have recently been told I have breast cancer.
In addition to this, I need to give my answer re:reconstruction after a mastectomy and I'm undecided. Has anyone been through this?
Thanks so much in advance
Fay
Evening Fay /
Warm welcome to the Under 50's Group. You may want to also join the Main Breast Group; most younger members join both groups to cover all the bases
In case you haven't spotted the notifications - the site will be down from around 9am tomorrow for a long awaited update, and will be 'read only' for a period after also.
For more info you can check out clicking here so you don't think it's all gone Pete Tong
There are plenty of messages / replies regarding reconstructions you can find by just typing it into the groups search bar for now.
Hope this is of some help, take care, G n' J
Hey,
Thank you so much for the welcome and for the information, really appreciated.
Brilliant - I shall search reconstruction now.
Hope you are OK.
Thanks again
Fay
Hi Fay /
When you search either breast group use the 'Most Relevant' tab rather than Most Recent or you will have to cherry pick your way through loads of messages.
This may be of some help too - Just click the cover image to download.
Be aware it does contain post surgery images.
