second reconstruction

Less than one minute read time.

My doctor asked if I wanted to have an implant in the other 'good' breast so that they'd look the same.I thought well whilst you're there you may as well do a masectomy so to avoid potential probs on that side as well.So now both breasts have been operated on at same time.One is silicon , the 'finished' product and the other the halfway tissue expander.Both sides sore, but the silicon one looks good.Much bigger than original!

   Most of the time feel normal and then suddenly remember that my days are probably numbered(but then so are everybodies' in a way I guess), it's like being splashed in cold water.Am obsessively organised.Trying to teach my 9 year old to look after her younger siblings and my partner to stop believing that he needs 10 hours sleep(yes really) and how to do basic household admin.

Anyway, all the best x

    Hi, just wanted to say well done. That is my one regret that i didnt have double masectomy, i should have pushed for it. i have just had reconstruction like you with permanent implant in and uplift implant in 'real' side. I still may push for it but it would mean another 2 more ops.

    Take care Love Kaz x

    Hi Mikimiki,

    It must have taken a lot of thought to do what you have had done. You are a very brave woman,at the

    same time going what Kaz says a very wise one.

    Ten hours sleep needs to learn the basic of Housekeeping. A good kick up the bum might help.

    Anyway you look after yourself.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx
