Hi, I'm 44, breast cancer diagnosis, waiting for surgery in a few weeks. I had to stop taking my hormonal contraception and have today had a copper coil fitted 
. The cramps! I haven't had a period in 16 years and now face their return.... hopefully it takes ages for that. Like I don't have enough to deal with!!
I will have a mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. I feel good about that, i think, but I am worried for sure about how I will look and feel to myself and my partner, it's a lot right!! Will my implant feel like an alien thing not part of my body? I just don't know. One day at a time.
