seeking advice

I have been diagnosed with breast cancer, this is one year after BA.  Has any here on the board had to face breast cancer after breast augmentation?  I am scheduled for a lumpecomy (sorry sp) for June 10 (don't know why they are having me wait that long)  Will I be disfigured?  I am really worried and have no one to talk to.
Thanks

Hello there.

While I cannot say that I understand what you are going through or relate I know there are resources out there.

I'd like to offer you a few suggestions.

1) American Cancer Society: www.cancer.org/docroot/home/index.asp

2) There is a cancer fourm here on OH: www.obesityhelp.com/forums/cancer_survivor/

3) A link to the National Breast Cancer Foundation online: community.nationalbreastcancer.org/

4) A support group online for breast health: www.breasthealthonline.org/cgi-bin/mwf/board_show.p


I hope this helps.  I would love for you to reach out to others who understand what you are going through.  Know that you can beat this and there are others in your situation and I am sure you can connect to them somehow through the above mentioned sites.

I am praying for you sweetie.  Big hugs.
