Just diagnosed with invasive lobular cancer

I had invasive ductal ca in my R breast but opted for a bilateral mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with implants (October 13) My implants were placed behind muscle and as such I had a lot of pain when I tried to move in bed. They do give you whatever drugs you need to help this. My advice to you would to insist on an electric bed as this alleviates a lot of the pain. After 48hrs I was given an electric bed and everything became much easier. Once i was out of bed and walking or in a chair there was very minimal pain. I've had no problems with the implants. I had Becker implants that have a silicone bottom and saline top. The saline is gradually expanded to the size you want. I'm at the end of this process and the plastic surgeon will take the injection ports out and pad out any areas around the breast with fat transferred from my abdomen and form nipples, mid march. They look pretty good but will always look false....better than dead. On the upside...once it's all healed I won't have to wear a bra all the time! The scars are healing nicely. I've had chemo in the middle of all this. It's hard to believe it's been 5months since this started. Don't push yourself too much...take one day at a time. Ask questions. There will be times it seems the process is too slow but believe me...it flies. Take care and good luck. I have no regrets with my decision.
