Phyllodes Tumor - Anyone else out there?

Hi Vicki,

I have survived the mastectomy and now have the tissue expander in place also. The good news is that my pathology has come back all clear so I now have the peace of mind that I am "hopefully" rid of this evil monster. Was in Hospital for 10 days as the drains were producing too much fluid. I have very little pain just some pain under my arm if I turn the wrong way or bend over. The tissue expander feels quite hard in there and occasionally the muscle feels like it is contracting over it and feels very tight - but not too much discomfort yet!! Due to have the first expansion next week if all goes to plan so I guess I will know what that feels like then. My major concern is how much expansion I want as I would like smaller breasts - it just depends on how much surgery will be involved to reduce and even up the good side????? Will continue to let you know how things go. Hope you are feeling well. Katie.
