Hi! I am new to this group. I was diagnosed with aggressive cancer in one breast in May.In July I started chemotherapy. I was 15 chemotherapy. I finished chemotherapy three weeks ago. I met with the doctor and doctor said that the good results have cancer is small.But the doctor said that after the New Year I will be surgery and take off my breast. I had shocked. I try not to think about surgery now. After chemotherapy, strength and energy must be regained. Ahead surgery and radiotherapy.
Hi Bc21 it can be a bit of a shock when you are told that you need to have your breast removed. Lots of ladies have needed this surgery and it's not as bad as it sounds and you should hopefully be able to choose wether you would like a breast reconstruction or wether you would prefer to stay flat. Your surgeon will discuss this with you at some point.
Wishing you all the best with the rest of your treatment.
