Facing Breast Cancer: Nervous About Upcoming Surgery

Rosalind L. Do you have family, friends, other support? It helps to share. I'm hoping you have someone around you can visit with and just talk. I ended up getting a counselor, also have contact with a chaplain through the hospital. Joining a church ( mine is small and amazing) has helped me. The beginning is the worst. It did get better. My sister had the double mastectomy with the deip flap and she did really, really good afterwards. 6 years out for her now. Keep us posted on how you are doing if you are up to it. Prayers here for you.
