Double mastectomy - words I never thought I would hear or say.....
HI, My name is Sally and I have been recently looking around this site and finally feel ready to post... Next Friday 21st April I am booked in for a double mastectomy and immediate reconstruction...
Thank you both @Hopes and Dreams and @DebP .
I feel a whole lot more patient with my new boobs recovery process after getting great news today!!! No chemo needed, radiation is unlikely and just perhaps medication long term.....waiting on one more test to come back and then an oncologist appt soon I hope. Surgeon was very happy......turned out to be papillary cancer - not common but comes with a great prognosis.....Oestrogen and progesterone receptive, Her2 negative......no lymph involvement......
I have never been so relieved !!!! dressings have been changed and this pesky drain is definitely is coming out tomorrow xxx.
Thanks again for your positive well wishes :)
Cheers
