I also had a huge hematoma. I felt horrible. It took a very long time for it to go away. I think depression and sadness goes along with it all. Your body goes through a huge change. Be kind to yourself. Honestly, I think the only way I got through it was because of my husband and friends. They were like my cheerleaders. My surgery was in 2023. My risk of getting breast cancer again is high. Do you have a very good friend to talk to?

In addition to my husband, who has been very empathetic and encouraging, almost all of my friends at the gym are guys, but a couple I've shared my bad news with, including the owner of the gym, have been encouraging as well. Oddly, the few female friends I usually chat with are sympathetic to a degree but seem like they don't want to talk about it.

I'm wondering if anyone here can advise me on how to scout out a counselor who might be helpful. Where should I begin my search?
