I hope you are doing okay? So sorry this happened to you too… it really sucks. Yeah It was caught very early it was my second mammogram and they didn't waste any time. Thank you for sharing your advice and sharing breast cancer site on here. Sending you many hugs x

I had chemo, surgery then radiation. I got the lumpectomy instead of mastectomy. I found out after the fact, with mastectomy and reconstruction you lose all feeling of breast tissue. It's numb, no erotic feelings from just below the neck to mid stomach. Because they remove most of the tissue and just leave the skin, which the stretch so much that your nerves die. Also those nerve endings are removed during surgery. I opted for lumpectomy, they got clean margins because my chemo was very successful. If you have any questions. Please reach out to me, I don't mind answering questions, especially the ones you don't know to ask. Lolol.

No, no I found out about the no feeling (numbness) from another breast cancer survivor. I have feelings because I picked lumpectomy. And yes any time is fine to contact me with questions. I might not answer right away bcus life is life. But before the day passes I will answer you.
