Hi all

I Had my double mastectomy and reconstruction 2 weeks ago. Drains are out yippee (but ouch!). Feeling much better! 

my nipples have sadly not fared as well as the rest of me and will have to be removed as they have died . I’m not upset but wondered how they do this! Does anyone know? 

Sending you all lots love f positivity and strength, whatever you are in this crappy process x 

many thanks

  • Hi there, glad to hear you're through surgery but sorry you have more to come.  I must admit I don't know the answer to your question, but the lovely folks at Macmillan probably do. You can call them on 0800 808 0000 to chat this through. Best wishes
