“It seems so inadequate to just say ‘thank you’ for what you have done for me. Having breast cancer is the most traumatic thing that has ever happened to me. I have felt so emotional and needing support, reassurance, kindness, thoughtfulness, gentleness and understanding and I feel truly blessed to have had your expertise and knowledge as well as those so important qualities. I have felt the psychological impact of losing my feminity so intensely but thanks to you, you have given this back to me and I have been swimming for the first time with true confidence. Although I am apprehensive about my nipple reconstruction operation in January I am amazed at what you can do and I can’t wait to appear ‘normal’ again. Please enjoy the flowers and thank you so very much for what you have done for me.”
