Hi ladies

Hi keryn and Olga, thanks for that :) It's lovely to meet you and I'm sending the virtual hug right back to you also. My double mastectomy went really well, managed to save both my nipples, nearly lost one after three weeks but dressed it everyday with vasoline and padding and it survived. As I said I have had constant pain with expanders, ended up going from d cup, to a small b it's all I could cope with, but the fluid pump up were ok, it's just because I've lost so much weight due to being so sick, went from 65 kilos, to 51 in a few weeks and haven't managed to put on weight yet, my body has shrunk so much so I really ache, hopefully will improve when I return to my normal weight and my chest stretches more. My surgeon was great, scars are from bottom of boob toxics corner and have four drain scars under boobs, but didn't have trouble. One of my drains fell out in first week, and was the major one draining lymph fluid but my body adapted and I had to wear bra all time so the support of bra pushed fluid down to next drain site, take all painkillers you can take don't try be hero and do too much, it's pretty draining. Let me know if you think of anything else? X amanda
