First "mammoversary"
Well today I had my first mammo/ultrasound tests since my diagnosis and treatment and I am over the moon that all is clear and well. It is great to be able to tell my hubby this news on his birthday...

Hi Vicki, Dr Brigid Corrigan was my surgeon when I had to have emergency surgery in Perth 2 years ago. I knew no one here and my Sydney breast surgeon and plastic surgeon couldn't recommend anyone over in Perth, so I went to Royal Perth Hospital, and she had a public list that day, and I was slotted into the end of her day. She was wonderful, and my plastic surgeon was very impressed with her work. I had a large bleed under my expander 3 weeks after my mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. She had to remove it, stop the bleeding, drain off 800 mls, wash out the expander and replace it and put in another drain.I had no on going problems as a result. I met 2 other women in my ward that were having reconstruction with her, and they both thought she was wonderful. Apparently there is a wait list for her through the public system because she is so good. I'm would think through the private system you wouldn't have to wait too long. Love Chris xx
