Results after bi lateral masectomy

Hello, gosh, that’s a lot to take in. I had a single mastectomy, but like you, my diagnosis got worse as time went on. I had chemo first, prior to surgery, but my GP warned me that they never really know what they are dealing with until they they open you up. How true that turned out to be, although there was a response to the chemo. It’s just over a year since my mastectomy, and after that I had three weeks of radiotherapy. I take daily Anastrazole now and zolendronic (bisphosphonate) infusions every 6 months.  My positive is how I now live my life. I got rid of the toxic, the dreary and the lazy habits. I make the most of all opportunities, meet ups, doing the things that I love, having gratitude for the small things that I took for granted before. I’ve decided to retire - am working my notice at the mo - money is not as important as it used to be (but that’s easier to say at 60 than it is at 35, I do appreciate that). If it’s a sunny day, I take my son to his favourite outside cafe ‘today’ not tomorrow or next week. If it’s a rainy day, we go to his second favourite indoor cafe. 
I am not sure that this will be of comfort to you right now. I remember breaking down in front of the BCN’s after the pathology report. I never stop worrying - but I was told by nurses, my GP, and other cancer survivors, that the first year post treatment is by far the worse for anxiety. I ‘think’ that might be true. Take care of yourself. Xx

Hi

thanks for your kind words of encouragement , I think it’s knowing it’s a long road ahead with regards to treatment , I e went from early stage breast cancer to late stage in 3 weeks , at least the cancer is out with regards to breasts removed . X

Yes, that is true. Hold onto that. I’m happy for you to message me if you ever feel low about things, although there will be others on this forum  who will offer you comfort and support too.
