Final Surgery.(.........well maybe)
Well ladies, I must say I am a little excited & a little nervous. I had a call from hospital yesterday asking if March 26 was an ok date for my breast surgery ???? ......hell yeh........Surgeon is going to try & even things up a bit. He will do some more lipofirming on the right side & possibly use some tissue from round the side to get the shape a bit closer to what he wants (what I want !) & he will also be reducing the left side, hopefully this is the way to try & get closer to some symmetry & I am keeping my fingers crossed that it may be the last surgery (don't worry I won't hold my breath !!) One of my friends was with me wnen I got the call & she said how can you keep fronting up time after time.........I just said while it's never anyones "plan" for cancer (of any sort) part of my "plan" when all this started was not to end up with a prothesis, which is exactly what I have had for nearly two years ........ don't get me wrong I know some ladies have prothesis & are happy with them, some have no recon & are happy, I just want the same outcome, & I am hoping & praying that I might have it .......some day. I'm not looking for perfect boobs just "good enough" will do me fine ! After four years (dx in May 2011) I may be able to wave goodbye to the surgical floor......some of the staff see me so much they actually think I'm a staff member !!!
