I would be much better if the surgeon had done the right size breast… It is smaller than the other one, which he did, at the cost of £ 8.500 (in excess of) each, one would expect better… I don’t know what to do 
I feel stressed and in pain.
Thanks, being able to vent is already something. I won’t let him get away with it, it took me an insane amount of courage to undergo the fourth surgery in ten months, I did it for the sake of my children, because it is the only thing in my control to prevent recurrence, I am so upset, you cannot imagine the outrage and fear I am feeling right now. Yet, despite everything, I don’t think this was the wrong decision, just the wrong surgeon… :S
Just saw the surgeon, having fifth surgery tomorrow, will have a bigger implant to balance breasts… Hopefully then it won’t be too big… I trusted him, he did all my other surgeries, but now I expect the worst. I hate breast cancer!!!
Everything went well, I am back home, and I am happy with the final result, thanks for your encouragement! xxx
Yes, it was the best way to go for me as I don’t have enough abdominal fat and there was a risk of cancer behind my nipples if I had conservative surgery. I am not at all in pain and quite happy with the extra half cup the surgeon added. xx
Happy to hear it is under control. It often shrinks and it is not uncommon for the beast to disappear, and well done on insisting with the surgeon, who sounds like an idiot to me…
I am nearly 44, and I have been with my new, fantastic partner since June, after a very sad and lonely marriage, so I wanted to have reconstruction thinking that although I met him during treatment and I know he really sees my beauty beyond looks (I was make when we met!) I felt I would not be able to cope with a mastectomy. The reconstruction does not look or feel like a breast that much, but at least I have a cleavage…
40% chances is what the surgeon said after having given me the good news about the removed breast being clear, I said I never doubted it would be, so he explained that to me. I haven’t seen any info nor looked for it, I try to live on and spend my time away from statistics and information. I think that every case is different: statistically I would have never had bc, as I was healthy, slim, non smoker, no alcohol, and I was reasonably fit…
