Hi, thanks for adding me to this group. I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and had a mastectomy with implant reconstruction in March. I luckily haven't needed chemo and I am now on Tamoxifen. I know my cancer journey has been thankfully short (so far) but I am keen to help others in this group if I can. Xxx
