Hi I was 4 weeks post surgery and had major blood leading g to energency surgery. Implant was replaced and cavity washed out. No sign of I faction. The surgeon believes my body reacted to dermal skull g and dissolvable stitches. Just wondering if anyone else has reported issues with derma matrix or stitches? Thanks

I had skin and nipple sparing mastectomy 3 weeks ago. Immediately there was a redness to the skin, which blanched upon pressure. The surgeon has seen this 3 times and assures me it is not an infection but visible because I have very thin skin and it will recede of its own accord. Still cant help worrying, has anybody else experienced this? Thanks

Sorry to hear you've had a tough time. I've been through different but similar additional problems. Had my surgery 2 weeks ago and find myself crying most days. Speaking to family and friends keeps me sane (ish). Any chance you could take the lead and contact your sister, these are hard times for everyone? x

Thanks for sharing your experience. I suppose its obvious when I think about it, but it wasnt something that was discussed, and like everyone on here every twinge is analysed x

Hi, there must be so many breast and other cancer patients whose life has just gone into free fall. I have no idea when the operation will be arranged for. I am having telephone consultation with a breast surgeon on Monday who hopefully will have an update. Hope you get an update with positive news soon

Hi, I hope this is all in the past for you. I am faced with a similar dilema. Can I ask what the outcome was regarding how your implants were affected? Thanks

Hi I live alone too, and the self isolation imposed, since having recently finished chemo, is making the NHS decision to cancel the op hard to deal with. It feels like all the caring words and reassurances that the NHS have said in the past mean nothing. Given a decision and choice to make we are thought not worth it by the NHS. Who in informed you of the cancellation? I received a phone call from an administrator whose message was blunt and brutal, your op cancelled due to covid 19. When I rang my lovely breast nurse, the management hadn't even had the decency to contact her, she knew nothing about the fact that her hospital had just cancelled all operations. She was left having to deal with me break down on the phone with no information to offer me. I hope the NHS management team who took the decision to inform cancer patients in this way feel the ends justify the means.

My heartfelt sympathies. My mastectomy and reconstruction was also cancelled yesterday and like you I am left not knowing when it will be rescheduled. I totally empathise with your sense of abandonment.

Hi Nicki Thankyou for sharing your experience, it was very useful to hear and echoes my concerns about having radiotherapy as opposed to mastectomy. I see my surgeon this week and will definitely opt for single mastectomy, and will have to see their response to the idea of double. Michelle

Hi I'm afraid I cant offer advice based on experience, but I fully understand your thoughts re a mastectomy on healthy breast. I am seeing my surgeon next week and intend to bring this option up for me. Keep me updated on your treatment? Thanks Michelle

Hi, I'm quite shocked that you have been waiting so long. I know its for cosmetic reasons but how you feel about your body image is personal and very important to the individual. Hope this happens for you soon Regards Michelle
