HI thanks for the good wishes.
Paula, The ps did ask me if I wanted a reshape of the intact boob to match at the same time and I was keen. But when he explained the risks could be loss of sensation, meaning I could have 2 numb nipples, extra scarring and a small risk of total nipple necrosis of the only nipple I have left, I decided that it wasnt worth it. He is a wonderful surgeon and the risks are slight but there is the old adage if its not broken dont fix it, so for now Im going with that. As my cancer was so sneaky and invisible Im also worried about creating unnecessary scar tissue where cancer cells could lurk undetected. No one has measured me or taken any pictures or really discussed anything much. I have had a feeling all along I just have to trust in the process and so far its gone well.
Kath, good to know they were able to create a DD I dont expect an exact match but would be good if they are the same size. My expander was 600 cc. Anyway time to pack. Ive been a bit teary. The expander was temporary so hating it was ok because I knew it was temporary. But this one Im going to be stuck with for a long time. Im glad to be cancer free of course, but still wish none of this ever happened.
Cheers Vallerina
