Hi Nina and everyone else. I remember being a bit squeamish about looking at my new boob (I had mx inc nipple but immediate recon last July) but I’ve soon got used to it. I also have a dent on the other side (had to have two small ops to remove a small area of DCIS) but everything looks fine with a slightly padded sports bra. I made myself laugh when I came round from the surgery - I had had the radioactive injection and they had warned me I may need the dye as well to track the SLN’s so don’t worry if my skin is blue - I remember peeping down my top and thinking my god, my whole boob is a strong dark blue, I wasn’t prepared for that! It was only when I had a proper look the next morning that I realised it was a blue pressure dressing covering my boob (and attached to a wierd little box thing that made a noise like a tree frog!!) - they hadn’t had to use the dye at all. Lol
Hope recovery goes well, rest up and take it easy, remember it takes a while for your body to get over the anaesthetic, let alone the surgery. Fingers crossed for good results (I’ve still heard nothing, hoping that’s a good sign) xx
