Hi I had diep reconstruction 5 years ago, which I have been extremely happy with. I have just seen my consultant about having dog ear revision surgery, she has also encouraged me to have a new nipple I was just wondering if anyone can offer any advice, how long will it take to recover after the surgery? is it sore for some time after? How soon could you go back to work? I am having the surgery under general anaesthetic and I know its not a long procedure I just feel a bit nervous after not having any surgery for a while Also, were you happy with the new nipple, did it look very natural? Did it look similar to your natural nipple? Gillian x

Hi I had a mastectomy, chemo and reconstruction on my left side in 2012. The last 6-8 weeks I have had discharge from my right side, I went to see my consultant yesterday he took some samples and said there is a chance it could be DCIS now I back waiting for results. Everyone around me is saying it will be fine but how to they know they said that to me last time and it wasn't!! I am really scared it's back. Any advice xx

Hi I'm 44, I was diagnosed February 2012, had mx, recon and 6 x FEC. Periods stopped after 2nd chemo, had a period last month which was very heavy and have now had another one again very heavy. Anyone else experienced this? Should I be worried? Gillian xx

Hi Hope you are all doing ok, I haven't been on for ages. I'm now 11 weeks post op, I have healed well and it's all looking good. My new boob is abit bigger than my natural one. I have been offered an implant but I really don't want any more surgery. I'm looking at bras at the moment I could do with one where I can take out the padding one side. Still getting used to how my body looks, have good days and bad days. Trying to look forward but finding it hard not to dwell on what's happened. Kitten-mad hope you are doing ok. Take care all Xxxx

Hi I had a diep reconstruction in June, all healed well. But my problem is what sort of bra to wear. So far I have been wearing post surgery bras which aren't the prettiest of bras. I'm not sure if to go for underwire or non wired bra, my main problem is my reconstructed side is abit bigger than my natural boob. I have been told i can have an implant to match the sizes but to be honest I have come to the decision I really don't want any more surgery, it has been a long journey with a few hick ups on the way and just want to move forward now. So my question is does anyone know the best type of bra to go for I need one where I can have padden in one side. Sorry for the long post Gillian xxx

Hi Ladies
now 7 days post op, I got home from hospital yesterday.
op went really well, woke up with 4 drains, a bit sore but nothing to bad. Managed to get out of bed day 3. The whole experience wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be didn't even feel the drains being taken out.
was treated at Salisbury hospital, what a great hospital the nurses, ward and plastic surgeon were all lovely and I was treated so well.
so far it looks great I feel battered and bruised, can't wait to see the result in a couple of weeks.
i bought my big knickers from tesco 2 for £8. They are control pants and 2 sizes bigger than my normal size.
i haven't had chance to read past posts but hope all you ladies are doing well.
take care all
