    Hi reddynamo, sorry to hear of diagnoses, can you share your symptoms and how it was found? All the best wishes for a good recovery.

     

    I just had a mastectomy ( 6 weeks ago) , and I have a  skin “stretcher”  for reconstruction, later I will have inplant.

    I would like to hear from others with same procedure, will the inplants be softer, more comfortable etc??

    I am a 5 year State IIIC survivor.  I have been through the 1st round with Carbo/Taxol.  2 1/2 year remission, then 1st recurrence and had an allergic reaction to Carboplatin so finished with Taxol only.  2 recurrence did a Clinical trial with Doxil and have been in a 14 month remission since!   It’s not a place we all wanted to be, but I enjoy everyday like it’s my last.  I fundraise for my Cancer center and always give back.  That is what makes me happy!
