@Brenda5 they sure do!!! and yes Ive had that happen too in public, and sat in my car, its awful.
Thanks Kath! @ Primek yes he said its massive 6hr op, 8 week recovery and I cannot work for 3 months minimum in my job.
Thanks @"Ellen Garratt" I didnt really have a choice as I had radiation 5 yrs ago, so the Plastic Surgeon said he wouldnt recommend an implant. He said he'd offer a Diep Flap over an implant generally for many reasons, being live tissue. I honestly didnt want an implant, though admit not happy with the alternative either. But at least I will keep someof the breast skin.
Thanks everyone! Not great today at all...the whole reality has me quietly sitting very upset at the moment. xo Melinda
