So, my reconstruction operation is this coming Monday 27th May, and yep...Im going alone... Feeling pretty crappy about it all to be really honest... just wondering how other people have got through all this alone...if anyone has had to? Admitting myself to hospital on Monday morning, and there won't be anyone there when I wake up, then i'll get myself back on a plane a few days later and fly home alone. xx

Hey Tan I am so sorry you will be going through your surgery on your own. Is it not possible for you to have someone there for you when you wake up. Where are you having your surgery? I think the nurses will spoil you and will be more than attentive knowing your circumstances. I didn't have to be on my own for my surgeries but I did do a large part of my journey on my own. Make sure you take something special with you that you can cuddle and don't forget the ear plugs will you. I am surprised they will be letting you fly so soon after surgery. If it helps, I will be thinking of you on Monday and sending you very warm and comforting hugs to help you through your day. Lots of love coming your way. Mich xoxoxoxo

Thanks so much. My husband runs his own business and is so busy that he has to be there, my mum is having our children, and I just bring myself to ask a friend. Im scared most about staying in Perth in a hotel on my own on Sunday night.... Its an awful situation but I guess I just have to be okay. Tan x

First of all good luck on Monday, just keep thinking another step of the journey towards getting back to the new you...I live a 1100km round trip to the hospital where i was having treatment, and also have our own business, i was lucky enough my husband tried to be there when he could (we dont have kids so that was one less problem in the juggling). But I must admit it took it out of our business (we have since sold out shop), and therefore our pockets, it is bad enough doing the journey when you are employed by someone else, but when you are both in the family business then every time you are away means NO money comming in, which adds to the pressure, I am sure the nurses around will spoil you. Keep thinking this is the new you, staying in a hotel in a city you dont know is probably something you would never have done, so when its done and dusted a big pat on the back to you, so take some good books, nice choccies, and spoil yourself.We'll be thinking of you, please keep in touch, Regards Moira

Moira, thank-you soooo much. Did you have reconstruction? Love Tan

Hi girls. Well yes, I met 3 amazing ladies when I woke from my operation. The love and support they gave to me was just amazing, and they will be friends for life.

Happy to report that surgery went well and other than the associated bit of pain, Im doing well.

Back home with my family, in my own bed and looking forward to enjoying my life again. Back to Perth next Thursday for a check-up with my surgeon, and get the bandages off Im hoping...Then I can get a proper look at my new boobies !!

Love Love Love this site and the girls that visitied me, Miss Kristy, Mich & Chris....you made me laugh, cry and restored my faith in life....I will be eternally grateful...and hope that I can too support you all one day..

Hey girls

Just to give you an update on Tania. You know how she was worried she was going to be doing it on her own. When she woke up after her surgery and out of recovery. She had 3 of us lovely BCNA pink sisters to be there for her.

She was quite perky (excuse the pun lol) in herself of which we were all surprised even herself as she has not had a good history in the past with anaesthetics. We took her some flowers from BCNA and chatted for a while. Her lovely precious friend Miss Kristy was going to spend the day with her today when she comes out of hospital. She will fly home soon.

I was happy to see her looking so well at the time. We want to wish her a speedy and uncomplicated recovery. She is young and beautiful with a lovely family and her whole life ahead of her to enjoy.

We wish you all the very best Tania, stay in touch. Chris and I would love to see you and/or Miss Kristy when you are in Perth next. Look after yourself precious.

Lots of love always, xoxoxoxo
