Thank you for your words of hope. I am ok with the surgery to remove my breast. I know it will be a shock to look in the mirrow and not have them anymore but I believe I will look in the mirrow and see a beautiful me without breast cancer. The colon cancer is what is really bothering me My dad passed away in 2006 with Colon Cancer. BUT so much has changed since his death. I will have to put my trust in my doctor/surgeon and God. I am having some systems of the colon cancer or it just be my nerves. I have to remember to take one day at a time. AND i am going to try to find a group here in Camden, NC. Thank you and Gold Bless You. Deborah

Lots has changed in the handling of colon cancer...all for the better. Please just focus on one day at a time and don't borrow trouble. I went from DDD down to an A- and it's okay. When you first look at your chest, it will not be a pretty sight with tubes and stitches. However, it's going to get loads better. I am a year out now and finally got rid of the UGLY compression bras and my physical therapist prescribed different ones. WearEase makes nice camisole support ones and the material is slinky...makes me feel like a woman again. And, you know what, you can lay out in the sun topless and get an all over tan...as long as no one is looking! All the best to you.
