Thanks. I really appreciate your feedback. The more I read through the forum the more I gather, not all of course, but a lot of ladies returning for more surgery later and having more chemo :( In my case I'm treating the mastectomies as a small problem to avoid as much as possible later as I worry more about the cancer spreading to my other breast and other places. I'm trying to concentrate on the long term. Plastic sounds way more fantastic! But see there could be some issues there also. Nothing is ever perfect. I live on a small Farmlet on the Mornington Peninsula but very close to treatments. I'm feeling frightening right now. Not only from the surgery but from the scary chemo process. Can my little dog sit next to my bed in hospital? Lol she relaxes me.
