I’ve just had a double mastectomy due to grade 3 cancer. Feel like I’m not whole anymore
Hi Jojj34602d
Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 One of the Community Champions on this forum. I'm sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and needed a double mastectomy. What you are feeling is perfectly natural. If you feel up to talking about how you are feeling why not give the helpline a ring on 0808 808 0000 to talk to one of the volunteers. They can arrange 6 weeks of free counselling through BUPA for you if you'd like. Alternatively if you have a Maggie's Centre or another cancer centre near you you can call them or call in to talk to someone and they will also arrange counselling for you if you'd like.
Wishing you the best of luck with whatever comes next for you.
Best wishes
