On the other side...
It's been a while since my last post and that's mainly because there's been very little to report!
Although there is still some work to be done, the new boobs are settling nicely. I am however booked in to have the left one fixed up a little - liposuck some excess breast tissue out of the top, insert some of it on the bottom where the mesh insert is to soften it up, and re-center the nipple.
The right one they will create a nipple then I'll get it tattoed. So all in all it'll probably be another 12 months before the cosmetic side of things is finalised, but hey, I'll cop that!
To be honest I feel like I'm now ón the other side' of things. All surgeries are done, chemo and radio are finished, hair has grown back and generally just feeling really good. It's amazing how during it all you can't see the end in sight, but now that it is here it is magnificent!
All that's really happening now is Tamoxifen and Zolidex which are giving me a terrible time with hot flushes and night sweats! But hey, again I'll cop that if it means not gettting cancer again!
My partner and I were featured in Body & Soul on Sunday for a piece on partner support - it was really lovely, and actually lots of people who didn't know about my cancer sent me lovely notes and messages. Having kept the whole thing fairly quiet, it was nice to finally have it all out in the open, albeit in a very public forum!
So next week I am off on holidays to Thailand and I can not wait!!! I have bought new cossies to show off the new boobs (I can now wear skimpy little tops instead of over the shoulder bolder holders!!!), and I am just really looking forward to having nothing on my mind but eating, drinking, swimming and relaxing!
