I've had a double mastectomy and DIEP reconstruction. Three months recovery time for me. Let us know how you get on. K xox - OngaMemberOMG Beatty_G please keep posting your recovery trail as some of us need to know. I am having mastectomy, removal of implants on both and diep flap reconstruction after one of my implants becoming encapsulated and causing a fair amount of pain. Starting to get worried about the operation and repair time - so please how are you going now? How long did it take to repair, what is going to happen next? Besides that I hope you are doing really well.
- Beatty_GMemberThank you for sharing your story. I am in hospital day 4 after right mastectomy and Diep. I’m able to walk slowly and get myself to the toilet but OMG the pain in my back is horrible! When does that subside?
Im at hunters hill private in Sydney and the care is incredible. I’m nervous about going home though.
Its encouraging to read that it gets easier as right now it’s pretty tough. Almost wondering whether it was all worth it!
One day and one milestone at a time...that’s been my cancer journey for the last 12 months.
