Hi there
I realise I am a very lucky lady (if you can call it that?) that I was diagnosed by a doctor on my outpatient appointment who thought I should have a biopsy, even when my mammogram and ultrasound were not flagging anything up except maybe ‘tissue mass’
From diagnosis to op was 3.5 weeks. Amazing. I cannot fault my care in the least. Everyone has been so very kind…the though of it all does make me cry.
I had a mastectomy due to size of cancer and my lack of size! Reconstruction with saline implant done at same time. They’ve done a great job. I feel very fortunate not to need any further treatment.
Just wondered if anyone still felt any sort of tightness or stinging sensation? My implant feels quite squashy in areas and more spongy and less ripple in others. Is this normal?
Thanks for reading x
