Hi Helen. Thank you and that’s really good to hear, I’m glad you’ve been finding the posts helpful and I hope everything goes smoothly for your mastectomy next week and that your recovery goes well. I’m sure you will be in very good hands x
A great post! Whilst I skipped the emotional day 3 part I clearly remember the first time I looked in the mirror properly at the hospital (the scary ‘take a shower on your own ‘ day). I sent a message to my husband describing my physical appearance as similar to a squashed pygmy!!
Thanks Mandy. Yep…that first look in the mirror is a bit of a shocker. I’m so glad I’d gone to the Show and Tell before so knew just how big those scars were going to be …and most importantly how well they healed up and looked like much further down the line x
Thanks Tess, my mastectomy is next week and your posts have been really informative and helpful, thanks x

Wonderful post, Tess, I'm sure this is helping so many!
Thanks Kate x
So beautifully written Tess and it made me well up a bit! I wish I’d been with you that day to bring you tea and a big (carefully positioned) hug xx
Thanks Han xx
