Re: Need some advice
Tracy;
I am 1 year out from my mastectomy and have reconstruction sched for Dec. As many have stated this whole experience is a rollercoster of emotions, this is only one stage of it but you came to the right place to vent, the more you talk about it and get your feelings out the better you will be able to cope. Soon you will be venting over not having appointments and having to put all this behind you. Stay strong and know we are all here to help you in any way we can.
Suzanne
