THEY WERE DOING AN MRI ON MY SPINE WHEN THEY FOUND MY BREAST CANCER. THEY DIDN'T THINK I WOULD LIVE SO IF WAS SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE ANYTHING WAS DONE ABOUT THE CANCER. I ENDED UP HAVING BOTH BREASTS REMOVED. MY HUSBAND OF 25 YRS. LEFT ME. WELL IN 2008 I MET THE MOST WONDERFUL MAN WHO LOVES LIKE I AM (I DIDN'T GET IMPLANTS). WE GOT MARRIED ON JUNE 23, 2009. MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT I COULD GET IMPLANTS NOW IF I WANTED TO. MY NEW HUSBAND DOESNT WANT ME TO GET THEM AS HE IS AFRAID I WILL LOSE THE FEELING I STILL HAVE IN MY CHEST WHICH IS VERY SENTAIVE. HE IS AFRAID THE NERVES WILL BE MADE NUMB FROM THE IMPLANTS THEMSELVES OR FROM THE SURGERY. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM BUT I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE FEELING I STILL HAVE EITHER. HAS ANYONE HAD THE FEELINGS OF THE NERVES GO NUMB FROM THIS? I FOUND OUT I HAD BREAST CANCER WHEN I WAS IN THE ER FOR A REALLY BAD CAR WRECK WHERE I HAD BROKE MY NECK AND LOWER BACK.

It's an online forum for both emotional and financial support. It's free to start a Tribe Page, all you need is an email address. You can invite friends and family to the Tribe Page and keep them updated with a blog. Tribe members can leave comments in the guestbook and can also purchase Tribe Tags for $20, with $15 going directly to the individual in need. Hope this helps!
