No reconstruction for me

Hi Jbs, 

I just thought you might like to know that Dragon Boating or Dragons abreast is a really good form of stretching and also mateship for afterwards. 

we have a local Dragon Boating group but several of them are now BC survivors and are looking at starting a local Dragons Abreast group. 

Just google Dragon Boating NSW or the state you are in. 

best of luck with your journey.

Hi everyone, this is my first comment. I had my r breast removed july 2011, 6 tumours of ILC and IDC. 12 month scan showed i had a small lesion in left breast. My surgeon wanted to wait and monitor, but at my insistance he removed my breast August 2012. Biopsy showed Lobular carcinoma insitu. I have no regrets about having the breast removed. After losing my r breast I felt very consious of how I looked as I was size 18DD. Now that both are gone, I am very comfortable with how I look.I am still having 250ml of fluid drained every week by my surgeon, hope everything settles down soon as he won't let me exercise or stretch yet and I just know how much it is going to hurt when I finally start stretching. Any tips  would be welcome. jbs
