back for more

Hi Mouse, My sister suggested I should take a photo of my boobs before I had a mastectomy last December. I had a lumpectomy first, but like you the pathology wasn't great so more surgery was required. I stood infront of the mirror and took a photo, of my lopsided boobs. Trouble was, that it was on the camera for anyone to see, and of course the kids pick up your camera and so do others, so after a month of worrying about who might get an unexpected eye full, I deleted the photo. I'm having the other breast off next Wednesday, and I'm thinking about doing a photo again, but I probably won't as one boob and a mastectomy scar doesn't look too good, and I won't want others to see it. If they did, I'm sure they would wonder why I felt the need to remind myself of how it all looked. I'm looking forward to the start of reconstruction at the same time. I hope everything goes well for you on Friday. Does having the mastectomy mean you won't now need radiotherapy? I was able to avoid radiotherapy by having a mastectomy, but the Dr wouldn't give me a 100% guarrantee of this till after the latest pathology was back after the mastectomy. Will be thinking of you on Friday. Love Chris xxx
