Hi girls,Sitting here waiting for a flight and finally have found time to check this inbox. I am 2 months post a double TRAM flap reconstruction, and I'm 2.5 years post diagnosis.. By far, and without a doubt, the hardest physical side of this whole experience was my latest surgery. I was completely under prepared for the level of pain, discomfort, emotional side of it all, everything. BUT I am extremely happy with the results, I am a new woman. I have come out all guns blazing and have found a personal trainer who is experienced with post TRAM flap clients, I'm on a strict diet, I see a naturopath, etc and I feel the best I have ever felt in my whole life. I am even finding that the 'sting' of my cancer experience is starting to diminish ... the check ups are becoming routine rather than anxiety filled. I can talk about my experience with less emotion.The point I'm trying to make is that its getting easier. Much easier. Have faith that you WILL get through the treatment, the myriad of specialists, the whole darn thing. I will never be grateful for my cancer, and it will never be a positive thing that it happened. But over time its just become easier to accept that it happened.Always here for any of you.
