Dear Sharlea, I have a similar problem after my surgery, and need to have antibiotics, as it was quite a nasty infection, maybe a call to hospital for some advise before Monday, if this is an infection the sooner you get medication the better. I don’t want to worry you, but please check it out. Wishing you well, big hugs Tili 🌈       ... View more

My dear Lostgirl,  I wish I could take your pain away, I’m so sorry I can’t help you, but would like you to know I’m thinking of you.

Hi Wonky, knowing exactly where you are coming from, like you just couldn’t tolerate medication, so have decided to call it a day not suggesting you should follow suit, however I feel life is for living, was feeling very unhappy, sad, and general could face another day. After a consultation with my oncologist it was decided between us….taking both my cancers into consideration (breast cancer both sides) to call it a day, they have left the door open for me should I need them or want to start Tamoxifen again. Maybe a chat with your consultant or GP wishing you lots of luck, I always say one day at a time. Take good care, keep safe and well Big hugs, brave lady Tili 🌈 🙏 x ... View more

Hello Bella, so sorry you have so much discomfort after your LD surgery, I’m 5 years down the line from having surgery started with a straight forward implant, unfortunately got an infection and had to have it removed after 10 days which left me flat for 6 months, (the only time I was comfortable) after a consultation with my surgeon he suggested LD construction, however regret the day I agreed to this surgery have been in pain every day since, a nurse at Guys Hospital was telling me they don’t carry out this surgery any more due to so much discomfort.  I do wish you lots of luck if you decide to have further surgery, I would love to know how you are getting on, please keep us posted Big hugs 🌈 🙏 Tili  ...
