Newbie

Mine was also borderline, I did alot of research through research papers and studies, (I'm a nurse) and I wasn't happy with it being there at all, mostly because of the unpredictability, there are small chances it can come back malignant and there have been cases of it becoming metastatic even as a borderline. I know the journey is different for every woman but for me the stress of it ever coming back was too much for my mind. I had 3 surgeries before my mastectomy and thought "how much of my boob is going to be left if they keep taking margins or lumps?" So I wanted it off, I had a reconstruction straight away and haven't batted an eyelid, I now have peace of mind and feel like I can move on without any problems. The blasted thing does enter my mind sometimes but not like it did. I also had a plastic surgeon from Sydney do my reconstruction, I had the 'breast team' do the mastectomy and the 'plastics team' do the reconstruction, although my Professor is known to do a great reconstruction aswell, she referred my to the plastics Dr.
