I have been diagnosed with breast cancer and they have found pre cancerous cells. All treatable (I’m told) with a mastectomy. I find out tomorrow if I can have a reconstruction at the same time (depending on whether it’s spread to my lymph nodes). I feel so guilty that I am mortified at losing a breast when I should be grateful I’m not losing my life! I have had implants for 30 years after having issues with covert bullying over my flat chest for years. This feels like my worst nightmare but others have it so much worse,
