It was a radical surgery. I found my self in such depression after, I was scared because it was cancer and scared  that my life was changed forever. Things are looking up. You need to talk frankly about your feelings with friends family. Its been a year but feels like it happened yesterday. I have a wonder family, without there support and positive attitude I'm not sure I would be doing as good as I am. I have been told they got all the cancer and it will not return, I'm still scared and probably always will be that c word stays in your mind every day. I'm sorry you feel so lost, and hope you have someone to talk to. I try to talk to someone who knows what I am going thru. Its very upsetting to  know part of you has been taken and you don't feel complete any more. To be trueful I have not been able to be close with my husband since the surgery(if you know what I mean) its to scary for me and I feel incomplete. Disfigured is the word. Things are hard to deal with at times but family and friends always help. Try to be strong and dont forget to pray for yourself its ok. chelseasmama47 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMT
