Operation Fears
Hi, I am new to this site,I was diagonoised in Feb this year with Inflammatory breast cancer. Big shock, so lucky to have lots of support although sometimes I still feel so alone in this. I have had ...
I am having my other breast off when I finish chemo (another 4 cycles to go (and then Radiotherapy if I need it) and I also have 12 months of Herceptin as well).
The reconstruction is a bit more painful than the mastectomy but I found it worth while (I am going by how the difference was between my recovery and the lady in the next bed who just had the mastectomy).
You have every right to have/ want a reconstuction, it is YOUR body and YOUR choice.
