Hey I’m waiting 5+ years for my reconstruction after a bilateral mastectomy. I just feel I’m reaching the end of my patience. Finding each day a struggle with my self esteem etc 

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am always sorry to see folks finding us and so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and ongoing challenges.

    A cancer diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but as my cancer journey was completely different you may want to talking with other people who are on the same type of journey as yourself.

    The Community has various cancer specific support groups and I see you have joined our Breast cancer group, this is the place where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.

    Follow the link I've created above then you can introduce yourself and post questions selecting '+New' or '+' (depending on your device) you can also join in with existing discussions by clicking on 'reply'. 

    The Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information. The service is open every day 8am to 8pm and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00. Clicking here for more information.

    You can also email them, use the online chat and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    All the very best.
