Marydean, are you going somewhere that you are going to get some emotional support after your mastectomy? I am thinking about something similar to that program they have with women who have lost their hair due to therapy for cancer and they give them a wig and a makeover etc. as it is recognised that a change in body perception can have a profound affect on a woman.
I think what you are going through is something that is recognised that can happen when your body is affected by cancer treatment, so alot of hospitals do have programs setup to support this. I know in melbourne they are trying to build a "wellness centre" with the cancer treatment centre at The Austin so that they can run alternative therapies and other support services along with the traditional western therapies to cure cancer. Hope you can find someone to talk to, to put you in touch with someone to help.
