Ladies, this week marks my 10 years clear! I have recovered well without any further problems, had small cosmetic adjustment to the other breast few months ago to rebalance my cup size and am very pleased with the results .Originally had mastectomy aged 36 with no family history etc. I knew that it could happen to me, it did happen to me, but life afterwards also happended to me!!!!! Positive mental attitude sure helped me along the way, the hospital told me so too!!! Lots love karen xx

Lovely ladies, I am going to go ahead with rebalancing on the recon breast which is 8 yrs old. Con says he can replace implant with slightly larger heavier bottomed one which will even up with nature breast. No need to operate on the nature breast, Says one and half hour op and day surgery. Has anyone had this surgery? Wondered what recovery period is and what is your opinion of this? I feel I want it as have it as two cup sizes different now and bras as so uncomfortable and do not sit straight at all and move when I wear one, Thanks as always. Vezza

Ladies, has anyone bought any new range post surgery bras. I think they look pretty and comfy and am wondering about getting one, nearly 9 yrs on from mastectomy and recon and usually live in stretchy Avon sport type bras, normal bras seem such heavy going, Thanks Vezza xx

Ladies, 3 month re scan is all clear, cyst has not refilled, Seems difference of what radiographer said and what consultant previous said re mammos from now on. I am nearly 44yrs old, diagnosed at 36. had 5 years checks and sign offs and private insurance only covered those 5years. Radio lady saying it should get nhs mammos til 50yrs whereas consult said that he didnt see the need for this. What have other young ladies had? Will need to clarify this when see consult for final apt in next few weeks. Assumed I would not get nhs mammos between sign off at 42 and 50. Vez xxxx

Had planned biopsy today, when consultant put needle in to check it wasnt fluid (before doing proper biospy tissue thing), it popped and disappeared, it was fluid. Bit of blood in it but being sent for testing anway. dont know if this is anything to worry about? Lump seemed to completely deflate and disappear on the screen, ?????????????????????? Vez xxx

Ladies, I have been signed off from routine mammos and ultrasounds now as 7 yrs clear.(43 yrs old now) Had a mammo last month via employers free health scheme, called back due to density area showing on health breast (had mast and recon on other breast 7yrs ago) which hospital are sure is a fibroadaema (sorry for spelling) and therefore not a nasty, got to have a biospy just to make sure, this is all doing my head in!! Wish Id have never bothered with the mammo last month and just been happy that I have been signed off and therefore not a concern to the hopsital, If I hadnt had the mammo, I would be none the wiser and this innocent little lump could just stay where it is (even consultant said that it didnt have to be removed). On the other hand, was I right to have the check just to make sure - dont think I can stand all this man handling ever few years, just want to be left alone. Do I say enough is enough and stay breast aware and not take up any annual checks now or do I take my annual mammos from work and also take the possible recalls and biopsies ? ERRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!

ladies, I had LD flap recon on my left breast 5yrs agoi. I am not on any medication now and have put on some weight since the recon. My natural right breast is now 2 x cups sizes bigger than the recon breast. Wondering whether to have a bigger implant put into the recon breast to balance or to have a reduction on the natural breast (not bothered about having bigger boobs really). I was a 32a and now have been measured as 34D so my left bra cup is too big but i can live with that. I just wanted to feel more even and could then wear sun tops without a bra. Has anyone else had this sort of thing? havent dicussed with surgeon at all.
Thanks
Vezza xxxx

ladies,
I have just had my second period since finishing tamoxifen and had terrible stomach cramps and felt terrible. Had periods, irregular after chemo and whilst on tamoxifen but not as painful. Must be something to do with coming off the tablets - anyone had this too and, if so, how long did the monthly cramps continue?
Thanks

ladies, I had by LD flap recon 4yrs ago and still have probs with getting a comfy bra. I usually end up wearing an expander strap at the back so I can loosen it during the day, if it feels too tight on the side of the recon. my bra always goes to one side too, never stays central because my natural breast is fuller than the recon. does anyone have any tips about bras etc as I dont need a post surgery bra really as I am 4yrs down the line now.
thanks for any advice, Vezza xxx
