How will I look after mastectomy? Scared about upcoming surgery

Hi Janet. I had a left breast mastectomy exactly 1 month ago today. I understand the worry. I was petrified of the surgery. But the thought of the cancer in my breast scared me more. I got thru it and am currently healing. Everyday you will feel a little better. Trust the process. I have been super emotional though during the healing process. I am sure its due to the surgery. Good luck to you. You will get thru it too. 💓
