I got the CAT scan and the bone scan

3. Dear Cyclonefence

I went through what you are going through 11 years ago. Congratulations for making it this far, it takes lots of bravery, and lots of support from your doctor's and especially your mate. Sounds like you're doing great in that regard!

I think you'll be glad that you chose the reconstruction. I did, as well, although mine doesn't use implants. They can actually reduce and lift your remaining breast to match your new one, they did that for me. You can hardly tell the difference.

It's worth it not to have to fuss with inserts for bras and bathing suits, etc. I'm a dedicated lap swimmer and found the inserts to be bothersome.

Again, there's no one right way for every woman. We should all be allowed to choose what's right for us.

I'm wishing all the best for you in regards to your surgery! It will all be behind you before you know it.

And, feel free to IM me if you ever feel the need for a shoulder to lean on, I think it helps so much to connect with someone who's been through it. If not, no problem. Again, here's hoping for a fast and smooth recovery!

Best,

Ohiogal
