Unfortunately I have a plan

Because of my age and my mri results and my risk of recurrence, my surgeon recommended a mastectomy at my appointment.  Not only a mastectomy, but most likely a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. He said that if it was his wife or his daughter, that's what he would do. Wow...I did not expect to come to this conclusion when I found my lump.  I am trying really hard to keep a positive attitude about this--really hard.  I have to keep telling myself that my life is much more important than my breasts.  I am scared and sad and I don't want to go through this.  There is no other way to put it.  I will find out tomorrow about my consult with the plastic surgeon.  What a crappy exhausting day!
