Hello everyone....
Since I started my chemo and lost all my hair I thought I would look terrible bald...but I dont. I am really okay with it. I rarely ever wear my wigs or hats... But I go for my Right Mastectomy this Thursday April 19 and I am really nervous about having only one breast...I was okay with it up unitl this last few days and it has all of a sudden hit me...that I will be lopsided. For sure I would rather be alive with one breast than gone with two...but I have had all these questions like where do you even get a prosthesis? I am sure I will have recon but only after all my chemo is done, which will be about this time nest year. One never knows though maybe it will be like my bald head...once it's done I may not even mind huh
