Reconstruction

Hey all,well the big day is finally arriving for me Thursday, Reconstruction,, Had my lumpectomy, mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and on Tamoxifen,, all started Sep 2010.

am having a mastectomy and 2 implants , followed by Nipple reco in 6 or so months and then tattooing, YES, im having the works, Im in Tasmania and Maria Popa and Fiona Lee are doing my surgery, have seen their work, looks great. I do have to go from a G-cup to a D-cup, due to the radiotherapy, skin elasticity etc, but thats cool,, have been a G for years, at least I will be able to get a pretty bra anywhere now, not that i will need a bra!! Anyhow, just thought I would b-log in and tell you and keep you posted after and throughout,

That would be one thing I would recommend to ANYONE CONSIDERING RECO, dont listen to anyone when they tell you its a 12 mnth maybe 2 yr waiting list, GET PRIVATE immediately. I have just been waiting my 12mnth pre-existing.

Tamoxifen? Dont like it, is keeping the weight on, however no other effects apart from the start of menopause, omg,

love and light to all you beautiful sisters
