Hi everyone
I'm new here, and have been lurking reading threads etc.
In January I found out I have one of the breast cancer gene alterations, so I'm now planning a preventative double mastectomy, and maybe reconstruction.
I bought my horse last year, before I knew all this!
So I am looking for some advice/experience that anyone here might have about the recovery and getting back into the saddle.
My horse is on full livery, and I've got a few people who will be happy to ride him for me while I'm incapacitated. He's very strong on group hacks and jumping though, so progressing to that will take a while for me.
Reconstruction is something I thought I wanted, but I'm not sure. I'd quite like to hear from anyone that has and hasn't had recon!
Thanks in advance
Caroline
