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 mastect...
Thanks Louie your a gem!! Yes I feel fine then not so fine. It is all a bit crazy.
When I was diagnosed they told me that 1st I wasn't going to die (certainly a good outcome), 2nd I will have to have a mastectomy (not great news) and that no worries we can make a new one for you. I keep in my mind that one day in the near future I can have the D cup I have always wanted. I am actually only a/b cup at the moment. But the initial surgery and then the expander is a bit of a weird feeling. Just don't know how I am going to react when I look down and have not much there any more. so many questions. Will I be able to go back to the gym? Will everyone know? Well I suppose my journey starts on Monday and the beginning of all the answers to my questions.
Stay strong yourself. As I said to Mechell, it is woman like yourself that are keeping me strong!!
Take care,
Love Jillian
