Hi everyone,

As some of you may know I have just found out that my aunt has been diagnosed with breast cancer again. She was diagnosed a while back and had a lumpectomy in her left breast, now she has been diagnosed with it in her right breast. Right now she is at the point of where she does not know what to do. She does not want to get another lumpectomy, because it was so painful for her the first time and she is not to sure about getting a mastectomy. My grandmother (her sister) who is a breast cancer survivor is telling her she should get a mastectomy like she did, but this is easier said than done.

I really don't know what to do to make her feel better. I want to tell her to go for the mastectomy option but I also don't want to offend her in any type of way. Do you all know how I can handle this situation?

Also, my grandmother has also inspired me to open up a lingerie store to cater to women who have had a mastectomy. I have also created a survey on lingerie that will help me out with the development of my lingerie store. I am basically just trying to get a feel of what people think about certain things that pertains to lingerie for BC survivors that have had a mastectomy, or any type of surgery of that matter.

The survey should not take no more than 5mins, and I could really use some help on this!

Sorry for the extra long post. I just have two questions that I really need help on

Thanks!
