Finally finished!
Finally finished and happy with the result. 6 years, 9 operations, 3 surgeons. Double mastectomy, 1 failed reconstruction, Lat Dorsi transfer and a second reconstruction after all the badly burned skin from radiation was removed. They look fabulous in clothes.

Paula xxxx - FlaneuseMember@Batwoman Bugger. I wish you strength. Your experience is yet another factor leading me to question my current situation (still an expander in, waiting for the implant).

Crumbs that is a so and so and that goodness you were proactive
Hopefully all will be good, it has just been a very long road for you
Take care - Jane221MemberOh no @Batwoman, sorry you're facing yet another surgery but good for you for being pro-active and turning around a potentially bad situation. I hope all goes well with the surgery and that you won't need to worry about anything more for quite some time. Best wishes, Jane xx
- arpieMemberThat's a bugger @Batwoman - I hope you are able to have the least invasive surgery with the best outcome ..... We'll be thinking of you xxx
Take care & all the best for Friday xx - BatwomanMemberAnd.....I'm back. Because 9 surgeries are obviously not enough I now need another one. This is becoming the saga of if it can go wrong it will :smile: My implant on the side that isn't tattooed (thank goodness) is a type that has been banned due to toxicity that can cause blood cancer. I was aware of this and decided to be proactive and have it checked. It's breaking down and needs to be removed asap. This Friday I will find out if it can be a straight swap or needs to be a longer process with donor skin taken from my back like the other side. This adventure is heading into the 9th year now. Getting a bit tedious now, but at least I'm still here to complain.
