Re: Need some advice

Tracy,

I have no personal advice to offer as I had a lumpectomy but wanted to send you good wishes and ((((hugs))) and hope you get your head around this and can accept it. At least you'll be alive for your children and this op really does'nt make you a freak, I'm sure your other half can see the beauty within you even if you feel otherwise so please know you're more than your breasts. I know thats easy for me to say but I'd feel the same way if I were having this surgery, its worth it to save your life!!! xx
