My wife just finished months of chemo and had her breast removed. The next step is 5 weeks of radiation thearapy 5 days a week. Breast reconstruction somewhere down the road after that.

I suppose this thread, the first I've created on SI in many years (don't let c.horn know), is to exchange information for those who are going through this or those that have gone through this. Men and women invited. A woman's perspective can help the man's perspective.

I am in the middle of this, please don't be shy, I want all input

Be well
