I had 2drains both removed 2days after mx... i was still on a ward with several ladies who were there for their hip replacements all old enough to be my granny! Anyway after the drains were out and the curtain open again I told all the ladies that I was very sorry for my language... most of them were deaf so I guess they didnt mind!!!

I was under the knife for recon when my recorrance was found... the lump was tested there and then and no recon! This was July this year just 16 months after MX. My bc is TN first time round I had 1 node involved fec-t chemo ... this time aswell as lump I have 2 nodes under chest muscle! 4 weeks of rads and the threat of chemo. BUT on wed was told rads had been successful. So now will wait for another PET scan in Jan and then maybe chemo, but for now I do wonder if things would have been different if my hospital had actually scaned me last year. The first time I had any scans was August this year...... All this aged 38 and trying to get teenagers through exams......I proclaim myself a super mum.

Well I'm going in for my recon to start next month having an expander, with poss stratice mesh to help hold it in place. with new implant by the end of the year, and a new good boob to match. Just wondering what experience you lot have of this and how different you found recovery from this op to MX? My PS seems happy to let me back to work within the week (all going well) as I have told him I can return on light duties.

Body image after MX will depend on lots of things.. size of boobs before all this,age, normal choice of clothes et.c. But from reading your posts I think you will be so glad to be rid of you cancer boob that you might even be happy with it not being there. Will a recon be something you will look at in the future.
Good luck x

having always had spots I was ready for even more with chemo... BUT I only got 1 during treatment and have had 1 since.... so just 2 spots in the last year, but of an extreme way to get rid of them but every cloud has a silver lining and all that!
good luck x

I did my hair with a home kit 4 and 1/2 months after chemo... all nice and not grey ready for the new year, I didnt use the cold cap so had lost all my hair so I figured that if it went wrong the worst that coluld happen was it all falling out again!... But all good dyed 3 times now and still have a head of VERY thick hair, cut twice to get rid og curls.
Good luck x

Sascha... I'm so sorry you are finding it so hard but once again I agree with all the posts above...
I would like to add that it is important to try and see things in a positive way, I am triple negative which gave me less treatment options, which could be seen as a bad thing but I look at it as a positive... less treatment less side effects!
But you are allowed to have days when your world feels like it is about to end, we all do, just try to make those days fewer.
Myself I had a MX with ANC(1 involved)last march and followed with chemo. the inside of my upper arm and my side are still fairly numb, but I just love the tingle I feel when my husband touches my numb bits.
Good luck and heres to a more positive day for you x
