To remove or not to remove..... that is the question
Hi all, I am 2 years post diagnosis. Left Mastectomy, Chemo, Radiation, Oophorectomy and taking Exemestane. I looking for advice from anyone who decided after treatment was finished instead of a reconstruction have the other breast removed for "evenness". I believe that the reconstructive surgery would be a pretty long operation as I don't have enough skin to simply slip a implant in. I just think it would be simpler to remove the other breast but any advice on either the pros or cons of this option would be greatly appreciated.805ViewsSign in to react to this post20CommentsRadiation Burns - Wet or Dry?
Hello .... I am looking for some advice regarding my radiation burns. I am 6 days post radiation (25 doses) and the skin in centre of my chest has broken down and is weeping. (Also VERY painful) I was given the zinc and castor oil cream and some silicone dressings from the radiation nurses but I am not sure if now that it’s broken down and weeping I should be letting it “breathe” or keep it covered? Many thanks for any tips to help this heal.385ViewsSign in to react to this post13CommentsRe: Moving to Canberra-public or private?
Hi @Mjheke Welcome to Canberra. I have lived in Canberra almost all my life and LOVE it. I also live in Garran so if you would like to meet up and have a coffee I would love to introduce you to some of my favourite things to do in Canberra. I have had mastectomy, chemo and finished radiation on Friday!! Living in Garran I was able to walk over to all my treatments/appointments at either National Capital Private Hospital or The Canberra Hospital (Public) which was very convenient.71ViewsSign in to react to this post0Comments
