Hello my friends,
I've come home from my appointment with my cancer surgeon now, and found that : good news, HASN'T traveled to lymph nodes!! :)
However, bad news: the cancers were more extensive than thought,5 in the left breast each 3cm, right long Lobular and main one in right were over 3 cm. He said I have to have double mastectomy's and I probably will have to have to have implants as I don't have any fat on me to spare for using instead of implants, which I'm worried about as he said IF I need radiation after results back from remaining breast tissue it will make the implants hard.
Sounds like maybe I really should consider having NO breasts?!
I just don't know.
Has anyone gone this way?
I see the plastic surgeon on Monday, so I'll see what he says I guess.
Got to look on the good side and think how lucky I am that it hadn't spread to lymph nodes :)
