Canāt sleep. 17 days post op and have been sleeping well during the calm before the next storm. Iām dreading my appointment this Thursday with slnb results and ongoing treatment plan. Or drip feed of inconsistent information as they feel like it. So annoying! Disempowering! I had a good moan to a bcn the other day. Poor woman she just asked innocently for my feedback.
On the up side I have read the posts on this thread and have taken some solace from the fact that everyone on here just wants their life back. I am not alone.
This bloody bra is carving a groove around my ribs. Iām gonna take it off for a few minutes relief. Iām lucky that thatās all Iāve got to complain about at the moment. I like my new Goldilocks boob mound thing. It has a life of its own and keeps swelling and shrinking at the moment so things are never dull. It tingles and crawls. Mmm what size are you today then?
Huge hugs and respect to everyone on here! Thank you!

What op did you have?
@Seagulls yes I was reflecting on this last night having a drink in a pub garden at 6pm. I was listening to the birds and looking at the daffodils and snowdrops and I cast my mind back to last November when this time felt very far away, and now here it is.
Iāve watched us all travel this journey. From dreading chemo, to experiencing the ups and downs of it, having ops, getting results, dealing with ongoing treatment. The road has been far from smooth for a lot of us, but the one constant we have is one another, and the fact that time moves forwards.
Keep hanging in there everyone, weāre going in the right direction, even if for some of us that has felt a bit wonky. XXX

I had a mastectomy with Goldilocks reconstruction i.e. a new mound is formed from remaining breast skin and fat once everything else is removed. They also refer to it as a flap but itās made of carefully prepared left over breast skin thatās tucked under and rearranged inside to form a new mound, instead of a flap being brought in from another part of the body. It looks like a nippleless boob but smaller than the other one. At least it does at the moment but it hasnāt settled down yet. Itās not suitable for everyone because you need enough spare skin and fat, so you need large breasts or saggy aged smaller ones (me). Also I think the aesthetic outcome can be unpredictable because body fat changes over time, but that doesnāt bother me. I wanted something there and something to anchor a bra on that side, but without the faff of an implant. Itās a compromise.

@lollipop1 sounds like a perfect solution for you and I hope it continues to settle. Losing a breast is a traumatic thing (which I am about to discover) so we have to be happy with the decisions we make for ourselves. xxx
