Hi lizalou
I had it on one side but chose to have other one done.I had genetic testing and it came back that I do not carry the 2 main genes but testing is still ongoing for things they dont know enough about yet,their words, not mine, so thought it best all round to have the op and likepetitepart I think it is easier to get a good match when reconstructing two.The genetisist said , before those results about 2 main genes came back, that it would reduce my risk by 90%. why would anyone refuse that?I certainly didnt and do not regret it one bit.

Can we not access other peoples profiles now?I like to read what other people are doing and where they live sometimes, does anybody know or can you not view them anymore@?If not,what is the point in putting your story in your details/

Oh Norwich,I live in suffolk so now I am dealt with by west suffolk hospital, but i had my first op in scotland then my second op and recon in selly oaks birmingham.Yes I do have a hubby who is in raf hence me always having to move hospitals,but he is brilliant,he saw me straight away after surgery, helped to change dressings etc, I dont really have any tips but i think its better to try and share everything with him and dont hide any feelings.At first I did not want to look at it but the nurses made me as I had to have dressings removed to have a shower and once I looked it wasnt that bad it was a neat row of stitches and a very good job they did too.And one night a few weeks after the op my hubby got himself a bit tipsy after a night out with the lads and got a bit emotional but ended it with i quite like having a mrs with one boob. unique he said..ok I laughed but you have to laugh its better for you.Now I have 2 again and he likes that too.Basically he just likes whatever makes me happy he is brill.you said you dread going back to work,and that you are the boss,if you have a good relationship with everyone before that should not change,just tell everyone to treat you the same as they did before ,thats what I did and pretty much everyone did.good luck tomorrow and i am sending you a big cyber hug.x.x.Only just got in from doctors the nurse was asking how I knew I had it etc etc and we ended up talking as friends for an hour,she had no other patients,her mum had breast cancer 30 years ago and she is 83 tomorrow and still going strong, which is just what i wanted to hear,an inspiration for us all when things are tough.take care.

hi gill,thanks for that.I am sorry to hear about your op tomorrow.although I had a double mastectomy i had them seperately.the first one was last june and took about 2 week to recover you will be fine you will be well looked after.Which hospital are you at?The second mastectomy this sept was by choice as I didnt have cancer there I had recon at same time and am happy with it but 12 weeks on its still a little uncomfortable.It is awful waiting for results isnt it?i found that worse than the actual diagnosis.When they did my first op I had to wait 3 week for results to see if it had spread and it was awful.well I am just off to doctors again now so they can all say ohhhh you poor thing look at your scars....it drives me mad because I hate being pitied.
take care and good luck tomorrow x x

oh thank you hilary.yes .. he definitely knows he is special. Thanks you brought a tear to my eye.every thing is a bit emotional at the moment.I dont know whats up with me, I used to be so strong.Probably like a lot of other people on here I feel like I have lost control of my life a bit.trying so hard to get back on track.I am so glad your mum made you feel special too. x x

Hi everyone, I put my christmas tree up last night.Its my sons seventh birthday today and he always has the tree up for his birthday... although this year I didnt do it with as much vigour as I did last year...due to my recon 11 week ago, but he was happy this morning and was as cheery as seven year olds always are at the sight of sparkly christmas things.i hope there is someone as daft as me and has got their tree up now. lol debbi x x
