Dear Soccer mom
First of all, sorry to hear about your news. We have all been there and understand how scary it is , it seems to get worse before it gets better. You will be amazed at how strong you can be !!
Have you seen the Oncologist yet ?? I would talk to the oncologist to find out your options.
I am 42 and at age 38 I was diag.with stage 1 I had a bilateral mastectomy( my mom died from breast CA), I chose not to have reconstruction,which ended up being a good decision for me, since my cancer came back in the same spot right under the skin. I wasn't on any preventive medication because they thought the cancer was so small , and that they got it all. So more surgery and then chemo. and radiation. and herceptin. If you can't have reconstruction right away, you can always wear prosthetics. THat is what I have , they fit right inside a pocket in a special made bra.
You can't wear them for about 6 weeks after surgery but they can get you a camosel with really light ( almost like little pillows) to make you feel more comfortable. I didn't even know any of this was available until I went thru it.
God Bless, and whatever you decide to do , will be the right chose for you. The people here are wonderful and strong and have helped me get thru the tough times. I don't know what I would do without this support !!!!
Take Care
