I just came across your post.I had skin sparing mastectomy on 4th Jan and my husband was very supportive through out.I had my moments,the thought of losing my nipple was heartbreaking.I still can't have a look at my breast and the thought bring tears to my eyes.At such situation my husband jumps in and consoles me that I am almost cancer free as my Oncotype score also came good and recurrence chance is very low.Your post has been really helpful for a cancer patient like me as I was feeling low.Many of the comments very really a morale booster.It's great that Nancy's surgery went well.What kind of mastectomy she had?Nipple sparing,skin sparing or full mastectomy?I hope her lymph nodes come out negative and also Oncotype score comes low.

Double mastectomy with nipple sparing reconstruction.

So happy that things are looking up for you. Hopefully we will follow a similar path. This has been the craziest ride I have been on. So many ups and downs. Can’t wait till the park closes and they kick us out.

Do me a favor, hug you husband and tell him thank you. Everyone seems to forget us and dismiss the impact breast cancer has on us too.

My wife came home from the hospital to this box. For the next 30 days She will get small present, a get well card, inspirational quote and a corny joke.
