Re: Decided to post...because I know you will understand...
Yes, "the new boobless normal"!! We would all react the same way as you, I think. I expect it will always be that way. But we need to remember that even cancer patients get other regular ailments like sciatica (or whatever). Everything just takes on such gravity once we have had cancer.
I have learned to try not to assume too much until I have facts. There will be plenty of time to be upset later, if ever. So don't do it prematurely! Keep the faith.
