3 years ago I was tested for the brCa gene and it came back that I had brca1 gene. I was 28 but already have two girls and my mum died when I was 9 with cancer so decided to go for the risk reducing Masectomy with imediate reconstruction. I got my fills and then went on waiting list for permanent implants. Then ended up in hospital with cellulitis and my implant expanders moved so had to get them removed I had to wait until it heeled and then had to get expanders in and start over. I saw surgeon at canniesburn in December and he said I would have to give it six months and I did went back yesterday happy thinking ok this is it to be told skins looking good but waiting list is a year I feel like this is never going to end and want to complain but don’t know what I can do I honestly hate the look of my body when I’m undressed
