Get Connected Day!

Hello Louise

You have answered a lot of the other things I was worrying about and didn't know what others thought.

I also want to get my ovaries removed, TO GET RID OF AS MUCH USELESS ORGANS/TISSUE THAT ARE NOLONGER NEEDED AS i HAVE 3 WONDERFUL BOYS, I WANT TO BE AROUND FOR SO WHY HANG ONTO potential risk??

I thought I'd like to use my tummy fat to use for boobies. But I'm scared as I have keloid (not spelt right) scaring and it results in thick purple bubble like scars on my body. I'll look like a bloody mess if they cut my back for muscle, my stomach for tissue and remove nipple!

Sounds good from someone like you because you have experienced BOTH approaches.

Why didn't you go the same technique again instead of going for another approach with second boob?

Is it a must to have muscle taken from somewhere else in body and placed in breast area??

Did the skin where your original breast was stay or go in both proceedures? As I read that cells can be in the skin as well as the breast tissue and nipple.

When the surgeon reconstructs the nipple does he just achieve this by clustering and clumping tissue into a PUCKERED SHAPE?

I keep hitting my Cap Lock key on the keyboard so forgive my writing!

Hummm..... I'm excited to learn so much more.

For me, the education takes away the fear!

Thank you so much and maybe you can chat to the familial cancer counsellor to see whether you need to have the test done or not as maybe they can work out if you are a high risk with your family history as it sounds to me like you are, so why worry about testing just do it.

If your Dr ok's it and you want to, you certainly have your own history to back up why you want it done.

THANK YOU so much for your honesty and sharing of these sensitive issues with me and others. I know it's hard and that's why I really commend all these brave lady online!!!!

Well Done and thank you all for all the help to work through this situation.
