Life after Breast Cancer: What’s next?

I’m 61 and active- I had lumpectomy and reconstruction on both( girls look good), second surgery due to margins being too small, 15 days radiation with boost. 3 lymph nodes removed all negative. AI drugs were/are tough for me. I did get a mild case of lymphedema- caught early and receive great treatment.
Keep up with all your stretches and exercises. Some days I couldn’t do as much, others days fine. Took me longer to get back to “new” normal but I’m about there.
You’ll get there too! Love to you

Oh thank you so much . I am getting a more positive feel with all your responses. Love the part about girls looking good . I met with the plastic surgeon today . He is like the 4th I’ve met . The others didn’t seem too sure about working on me since my bmi is rather high. I finally have one who has done thousands of surgeries and he just said to me with the most reassuring voice “you just fight the cancer , don’t worry about how you will look. It’s my job to make sure you love how you look after “ . Suddenly it all seemed so real .
