Breast reconstruction- it can be a long road

Hi all

I am finally nearing the end of my reconstruction following my bilateral mastectomy in June 2014.

So all in all it has been a long road - I am pleased that I decided to go down this path though it has been worth every bit of it and I continue to be grateful for the opportunity it has provided for me to connect with so many amazing women.

If you are contemplating reconstruction, or undergoing reconstruction, please consider joining the Breast Reconstruction Online Group which you will find here https://www.bcna.org.au/online-network/groups/breast-reconstruction-online-group

and look for the pink "join" link on the left hand side of the page.  It is a great place for information, support and practical advice.

Hugs

Chris

P.S. Nipple and areola tattoos on Thursday- woohoo
