Hi everyone, I hope all is well and we’re all managing this crazy journey we are currently going through.
I was diagnosed with stage 3 BC last year in November, as you all know it turns your world upside down. All of a sudden I found my life was consumed by my diagnosis, the amount of information that was given, what my body will be going through I found all soo overwhelming alot to get my head around! I feel like im in a better place now, I’ve had time to come to terms with it, although l still have anxiety at times and do struggle with my sleep.
I started chemo last year in December and recently finished in April last month. I have to say chemo definitely took it out of me! The level of tiredness I had never experienced anything like it along with the other side effects with chemo. I’m glad my chemo has finally finished, I now have surgery to deal with. I will be having a mastectomy, lymph nodes removed with immediate reconstruction using my own tissue/muscles I will be having a LD flap reconstruction.
Has anyone else had a similar/ LD flap reconstruction surgery they could advise me or even for reassurance the outcome is positive. Any advice would be grateful.
I wish everyone well sending big hugs, we are all at different stages in our journey, stay positive, stay strong xx
