Sad about mastectomy..

[Emelie]

I just wanted to hear from someone who has actually had a mastectomy and if they felt sad too. The medical staff keep telling me this is the easiest part of the treatment. I am going in for surgery on Thurs. and I am feeling so sad all of a sudden. I know it has to go, but I am so scared of how I will look and feel afterward. Any thoughts, comments or suggestions are appreciated from you wonderful survivors.
