Hi all,
I had a right side mastectomy and reconstruction at the end of January. I have been having weekly chemotherapy of paclitaxel plus 3 weekly herceptin. I woke up a week ago and my implant has moved and the reconstructed breast is a funny shape in comparison to how it was.
I had just gotten used to it and comes to terms with my new pertness but now its saggy and flat and I hate it again.
I have seen my surgeon but unfortunately there was fluid around it and so he couldn't examine me properly, I had the fluid drawn and have been put on antibiotics and now the swelling has gone down I know it isn't right.
I was just wondering if this had happened to any one else and if anyone had any advice about what can be done about it.
Many thanks
