Sally, I dont know if you joined the group of Breast Reconstruction? That helped me so so much prior to my surgery, I in turn posted my story and everyone knew how bad I was lol. Im talking major meltdown had to contact a Psychologist that I saw 3yrs prior and that was the turning point. Funny thing is I dont feel like I lost my breast, its just different and I thought Id be devastated without my nipple but it hasnt bothered me. I have no idea what happened after surgery but Ive been very content with it all. Still a revision surgery to go to match the boobs and put on a nipple but thats ok. I couldnt have an implant as this was my 2nd diagnosis in 2015 and I had radiotherapy in 2011. So rest up, and call on the troops to pamper! I say! Melinda xo
