Hi. Ive had my right breast removed and am now waiting for my results tomorrow. Decided to wait for recon.
there is nothing wrong in feeling scared we do at different times and hide it/ deal with it in different ways.
I dont know about recon but the worst part of mine was severe constipation and I did drink loads so needed suppositories and enema - no dignity left for us - and some annoyance where the drip was left in.
The rest is already a vague memory and we are only talking 3 weeks post op.
The worst part is the constant waiting and being treated like I’m going to break!
Be scared that is good - but youre not alone …
Big hug x
