Poor Boobs
Some girls are looking into getting a boob job once everything settles. Can we get BCNA to coordinate a space where people can comment and share their experiences re reconstruction ( OR NOT).
Both ...
i had a left mastectomy with immediate silicone implant reconstruction on the 3rd February this year, her ein Canberra (my mastecomy was nipple saving and they saved about 1/2-3/4 of the skin (they removed the tissue near my tumour (where the dimpling was), my surgery was not much worse than a simple mastectomy, in length etc and recovery is not normally any worse (I had complications from underlying genetic and neurological conditions that Ihave had since birth/ for 17 years, so my recovery was slower) but I am 100% happy that I had the reconstruction. I was not big busted to begin with only a B-C cup.
I am having the Right breast done in 6-12 months time when my chemotherapy is finished as a preventative measure as I am high risk for it coming back in my other breast (VERY strong family history, still waiting for genetic testing).
