Breast Cancer Now Forum

Hi Narnia   Thank you so much for your message. I found it very useful. I am just waiting to see my surgeon. I have just had 6 months of chemo and I have 12 sessions of 2 other treatments. I think I am swaying towards not having the reconstruction but will see what my surgeon has to say.   Thank you so much# Lisa x ... View more

Hi Evie   Yes, I certainly do have chemo brain. Some days I cant decide which coffee to have at the coffee shop hahaha. I wasn't aware that the hospital supplied you with prosthetic breasts. I thought I would have to purchase my own and they are not cheap. I was under the impression that the implants had to be replaced every 10 years so that what put me off those. Thank you for your input. I have to get my thinking cap on now as I will be seeing my surgeon soon and will have to decide.   Thank you Evie and regards   Lisa x ... View more

Hi Jan   Thank you so much for your reply. I am more swayed towards not having the reconstruction. To be honest, I just want this all to be over. I wasn't aware that you can get prosthesis ones. I just thought that there was knitted knockers. I too aren't at the age where I wear skimpy stuff. It was good to read about your journey though. Thank you for sharing.   Best Wishes   Lisa ...
