Hi Debbie, good luck with all your tests today. I'm sorry to hear about your sister now with her cancer. Cancer really suxs. I just wanted to tell you, that I had all my taping off yesterday, and I'm absolutely thrilled with my new reconstructed breasts. Like you want, I also chose to have a second mastectomy and insertion of tissue expanders. All this was done in September last year, and last week I had the expanders out and the silicone implanted. I can't tell you how happy I am with the result. I'm back to my old 14 B, and as both were done together, they are the same size and sit very evenly on my chest wall. the Dr told me to expect them to take 3 to 6 months to settle down and become softer. As I am already delighted with the results, it is hard to imagine that things are supposed to get even better. Now, with the chemo and this behind me, I feel like I have done everything possible to prevent a new cancer from coming. I feel very happy to have fake boobs now, and a sense of relief that I have had this double mastectomy. I have no regrets what so ever. All of this has happened over a 14 month period. I too am on femara, and hate the side effects, but feel that is a
small price to pay for the added protection it gives. Good luck with everything. Love Chris xx
