Hello everyone, 

I was recently diagnosed with a malignant phyllodes tumour in my left breast and had a mastectomy 6 days later. I am 10 days post op now and I’m starting to process my situation. i am 22 years old and currently a university student - I have withdrawn from this year for now - I have found leaving the fun uni life and friends behind very difficult. 
I’m hoping to connect with some people in a similar situation so I can be reassured that all my thoughts and feelings are normal!
