Hi Karen, Prayers and blessings being sent your way.....truly a difficult situation to be in and then with all the Covid stuff going on, seems to make everything else even worse....I wasn't diabetic when I had my two mastectomies, but I certainly remember the fear, the anxiety, the questions, the waiting, the uncertainty.....but I did find people in my life who lifted me up with their prayers and well wishes - cheerleaders for my successful and leaned on them hard!
My prayers is that the surgery will be successful and that your treatment options will be clearly laid out for you and that you are given some breathing space to make informed consent and feel "included" in what is happening to your body.....not just another breast cancer case. You are unique and strong and a fighter - keep telling yourself that even if some days may not seem like - your own truth is so important in developing a positive, "let's get it done" attitude for your success.....whatever that may look like.
This year I celebrated 45, 35 and 30 years of being cancer free from the three cancers I experienced the 35 and 30 were the mastectomies....not boastful, just very grateful, and trusting that one day you can have your own celebrations while you celebrate your special life. Hugs/L
