So Annoying
Hi everyone hope you are all fairing better than me at the moment. Had my mastectomy 3 weeks ago and was just starting to feel sort of normal well not so sore, had it drained last Tuesday and then it...
We sound like bionic women what with all the extras we have to add when getting ready.Once you are fitted for your prosthsis you will feel so much better- evenly weighted and comfortable.I still get abit down when I'm getting dressed or undressed and I see my scar.But once the prosthesis is in place I pretty much forget about it.I think it takes quite awhile to adjust to not having a boob. The reason my hair took so long to grow was because of the chemo drug Docetaxil- it's harder on your hair follicles.My hair started to fall out about 2wks after 1st chemo.It was hard to take.Some woman get it shaved off but I couldn't.Your scalp actually hurts when the hair falls out. Are you going to take some time off work during chemo?Hope you are over that infection now.
luv Tonya xx
