I'd like to wake up now...

Hi Heidistar,welcome to this site, and I hope we can give you support and information when you need it. I am coming out the other side now, having almost reached 12 months since finishing chemo. Today I am going to the hairdresser for my 5th haircut after losing my hair last year. It does grow back, and very cury in my case, but I am told to expect it to become straight again in the next 12 months. I also have had reconstruction with implants, and I am very happy with the results. I decided to have a second mastectomy before my reconstruction, and so I now have 2 new boobs both the same size. I am back to being a 14B which is where I was before breast cancer. I haven't had nipples put on yet, and may not ever bother. This seemed important before I had the reconstruction. Now that it is completed, I'm not so concerned about it. I look normal in clothing, and have my cleavage back, which makes me feel happy, not that I show it off. It just looks better in a T shirt or jumper or dress. Good luck with your surgery and any treatment you may require. We will be thinking of you. Love Chris xx
