Get connected day!

It is overwhelming! But as we all said, take time out from thinking about it as well. Don't foret, you can always look for other opinions if you aren't happy with what you have been told by your medical team. I chose to have both taken as I didn't want more issues in the future (re-occurance of the cancer, more lumpectomies etc) - well, at least not as big a chance but a significant part of the decision was having matching boobies :O) Self image is so much a part of our egos and recovery has been easier - mentally - knowing that my results are going to be the same on both sides in the mirror. My surgery was done at St Andrews Private Hospital in Adelaide. It's about an hours drive from me but was worth it. The team there was fantastic, my surgeon Melissa Bochner is a treasure and the breast care nurses are amazing with the amount of support they offered! Col, I'm curious about the physio - I wsn't offered physio as part of my recovery, maybe that was because I was younger than most patients? It took me about a month to get back to the point where I could look after the kids and do basic household chores but some things are still difficult - pegging out washing is uncomfortable so I tend to use a step ladder so I don't have to reach up, as such. LOL Have had a few physical set backs with the ectra surgery to replace the faulty expander but was only down for a week after that one. According to my surgeon, I can expect about a week after the next op to get back up to speed. Ree xxx
