Hi, im new to this group and joined in the hope of finding some older ladies who may want to share their experiences of post mastectomy reconstruction or delayed reconstruction.
My daughter in laws mum is Polish, 70yr old and shes struggling to know which to chose when she has her mastectomy next month.
Any advice or real people info/ experience would be most gratefully received so i cam pass it on.
Thanks
Hi and welcome to the Macmillan Online Community although I am so sorry to hear about your daughter in laws mum.
A cancer diagnosis can be such a stressful and challenging time but I do hope you will find the community a safe place to get support and ask your questions.
The Community has various support groups (discussion rooms) so can I recommend that you consider joining our supportive Breast cancer group. This will be a safe place to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and talk with others who are supporting family and friends on their treatment pathway.
If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the Green (Bold) link I have created above. Then once the group page opens click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go. You could copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
Give me a shout if you need further help.
Best regards.
