Hey @Susie9.
I swore I was giving up after surgery. Didn't happen. I had this discussion with my BCN back then and she said (after giving me the lecture she was professionally obliged to) "do what you can but it's going to be a long year, one hard thing at a time" 18mths track and it still seems too hard. It's another up and down roller coaster to try and get through.
@Zoffiel, maybe you don't want to. I know if I told myself I am never going to do that again I surely will do it twice as much!
Interesting fact: Some public hospitals (Qld) will not do reconstruction on smokers (unless they quit prior to surgery of course) due to high complication and failure rate. They refer to PS or larger hospital to be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Ouch for the nipple. Hope it gets better soon.
Be good to you.
