Letrozole

I think you will be very pleased with your therapeutic mammoplasty. I had this on one and mastectomy and implant the other. I have had no trouble whatsoever with the therapeutic mammoplasty. Risk before the op, being a more mature lady, was that surgeon might not have been able to keep the nipple attached because of possibility of blood vessels/supply not being possible to achieve, but she was delighted that she did achieve this. I did not know at the time, but the cancer there was fast growing. I did not know what a mammoplasty was before either. Breast Cancer Nurse explained to me, because I was shocked to receive the news from Surgeon that a mastectomy was essential on the other breast. Never slept that night, as so worried about the future.  Feeling now is that they did a very good job on me, even though they had to re-do the implant due to haematoma. It does take some weeks to do all the investigations necessary. I have to be on Letrozole for the next 7 years and have to have  radiotherapy on the therapeutic mammoplasty side which I have not got as far as yet.

Yh I have spoken to quite a few ladies who advised they had good results from a theraputic mammoplasty. Was relieved my mri showed no more abnormalities and I presume, that means my lymph nodes as well. They are still taking some sentinel nodes xx
