Desperate

Help..! Is there anyone out there who feels the same as me.
I discovered a grade 3 agressive tumour in august 2001.
I had a mastectomy in 2001, I had a secondary (same side) 2003.
Since then, I have had chemo and Herceptin and to date, Herceptin only...!

I have asked repeatedly for a reconstruction, but my surgeon is so against it.
Every time I ask Why ... He tells me he is uneasy with the idea of it.....

My problem is...If I cant have the reconstruction, then I want my surgeon to take the other breast off, then I wont have to look at a reminder, every day in life, for the rest of my life
Please somebody tell me I am not going off my head cos right now, that is how I feel. Every time I step out of the shower, I cringe at my reflection in the mirror.
Is there anyone out there who, feels the same, cos right now I need to talk to someone in the same boat....
