Louise and girls....many thanks for your informative comments regarding reconstruction. I am due to have bilateral free tram flap reconstruction on 30th August at Hunters Hill Private. My Surgeon is Dr Megan Hassall. My initial surgery was April 13th 2011, a date I remember before any family members birthday.
At present I am apprehensive about what is coming even though I am eager to have breasts again. Imagine this is a normal process to go through. On New Years 2011 my family and I moved to Malaysia for 18 months. Three weeks ago we returned. In May I had my final booking appointment to arrange Hospital admission. I arrived in Sydney late on a Sunday night and had my appointment at 1pm the following day. By 9.30pm I was on my way back to KL.
Not knowing what is coming is bringing up similar feeling to those I experienced prior to my bilateral mastectomies...without the terror and tears! Reading the comments has given me information that will set me on the right path.
Fingers, eyes, legs and arms crossed for an amazing Surgery and Recovery.
