Feeling good!
Well I'm feeling pretty good again and have my old energy levels back, so I was very surprised when my oncologist told me on Thursday that I am now in menopause! I thought I would be feeling worse tha...
my 1st diagnoses was 2004, i am 46 now, had lumpectomy last one and like you this was a different cancer, even though i had radiation on the right side ,rebuild was best on that side. This one was in the left, but both were caught just before the late stage, though this one is a grade 3, so after speaking with the surgeon, did not have much choice. I am in Victoria and have gone through the public system, the nurses that looked after me were terrific, so that did help, as after the operation was groggy for a couple of days. Am seeing the peter mac hospital in Feb, as we have a large famliy history, all had masectomy's, am hoping that with the treatments of today i will get to see grandchildren.The breast care nurses also came in to visit everyday to check all was okay, as not many of the patients have had this surgery, most have had the tram flap.Also had a great plastic surgeon, who likes women to feel happy about themselves and had plenty of time to discuss any problems, hope you find a good surgeon,take care
