I was terrified and you have a right to be too.
Cancer is very scary.
Dec 99 was my time, I choose to have a double masectomy, which was performed 2 days after christmas, spent the next 5 months in chemo and going through my reconstruction. Lots of support from family and friends and trying to keep a positive attitude helped me get through the toughest year of my life so far. Ask your doctors alot of questions, the internet has alot of good sites with alot of good information out there.
