Well done Moira, your celebration will be a bit like mine, lucozade and crisps is my kind of celebrating, I’m not really into booze anymore, I just can’t hack it. might start listening to inferno, dan brown tonight, I forgot, did you like the book?
Kate it’s so good to read how well and positive your feeling now the chemo is over, I’m confused though over the boob, I was told that I couldn’t have immediate reconstruction as I would be having radiotherapy and that, that could ruin the reconstruction. Am I right in thinking they’ve done the mastectomy then put the blowy up thingy in, and have they blown that up to create space for them to fill with either your own tissue or a silicone implant? I’m not sure what to do over the reconstruction at all, definitely want it done but don’t know if I would want to see the tummy tuck scar as well as the scars on boobs. Mind you, I’m such a tub of lard now, I could do with a tummy tuck … At 48 it’s a lot harder to shift the flab! Kate I can so relate to being scared with that first look at the boob scar, I think that’s what I’m dreading most, I’m such a wuss!
Weve had the sun in .bridlington too kate, it’s been red hot here today, they’ve forcast a scorcher too for tomorrow… Least I can hang my bald head out the car window like a dog on the way home from chemo.
has anyone had the reconstruction using there own tissue, and if so, are you happy with it?
Angie, don’t you be hogging the sleep fairy s, I want some for tonight now I’m back on the steroids, mind you they’ve taken the aches and pains away… First time in 3 week, I feel quite normal, even my dad couldn’t pi@@ me off this afternoon, with his moaning after I’d been shopping for him and mum, put it all away, and then cooked his dinner … god I hope I’m not turning into my dad with all this moaning! Angie I’ve gone from a size, well about 11 to a size 14 clothes and then they have to be a generous cut… Larry arse is my middle name.
Amber, I so hope I follow in your tracks, day 10 and feeling godo sounds good to me, I’m pleased for you.
Mel-A I’ve seen Yorkshire ?day mentioned on .facebook. Has anyone done the I’m going to Miami in ten months thingy on Facebook, where you use your birthday and month to say your going abroad, for cancer awareness … I’ve put it on my status and keep getting messages saying people are so jealous,I’m going away… wish I was. Let me now if I’m rambling and I will post the link so you know what m on about.
Lynn that is such good news for you and your mum, she must be so pleased and you so relieved for her, best of luck to her she deserves it. How are you on day 14, are you feeling ok now?
sleep well ladies, make room on the platform for Lardy Arse tomorrow.
Pauline and Mel, how’re you doing?
Afriend of a friend has recently had double recon with the tummy tuck. I’ll find out how it’s going.
