Yes ma'am. Took a while but my body got use to the meds and I finally lost it. Weight gain is often an unwanted side effect that we deal with. Just know that you are beautiful just the way you are. You will lose the weight and and feel strong and so gorgeous again but it sometimes takes a bit of time. Stay in touch. Much love and endless hugs.

All I can help you with is....radiation is not that bad.. I had 16 rounds. Just make sure you moisturize your breast diligently! It's not as bad as you think it will be...trust me

I feel lost, depressed, I can’t eat or sleep. I can’t choose which would be my best option. I go January 12 to meet with the Plastic Surgeon and January 14th to meet with my breast surgeon to decide which option I am choosing. I feel like both options suck. I am petrified of a mastectomy and reconstruction but I am also scared of radiation and tamoxifen. Scared that if I don’t do a mastectomy there will be some cancer somewhere. Thank you for asking how I am doing. I appreciate you, being in this support group helps me so much.
