      Sharyn,

       

      I got your email but just wanted to respond here.  You are an amazing warrior and have been thrown so many curve balls. I'm so sorry and can certainly understand your dislike of having a mastectomy.  However, with all the doctors in agreement, you know that's what needs to be done.  I know you've often mentioned your supportive family and I hope you can all support each other with this.  I know you have so many other things going on but am wondering if there is an organization like Reach to Recovery in Canada.  I know they have helped so many women (and an occasional man) who has had a mastectomy.  The volunteers have had the same surgery and can offer support, understanding and hope.

      You'll be close in my thoughts and prayers, Sharyn.  I am so very sorry and just hate melanoma.

       

      Stay Strong
