New thread

@Scandimandy I caught up with The Change this week,loved it,loved Lin,the forest of Dean and the Shirley Collins soundtrack. It made me want to disappear on menopause retreat.
Thanks for all the reassurance I've been given 🤞for a boring and routine appt x

@Scandimandy missed that you're having a mastectomy tomorrow, good luck, hope all goes smoothly and quickly for you 💐

Good luck for tomorrow @Scandimandy !

I'm watching The Change too - I'm near where it's set & it's always exciting to see places you know on TV.

@Silkierabbit If you've got any specific questions on DIEP feel free to message me - I would write about it here but think I would go on too much! I'm two weeks out from the stage 2 op.

@AllotmentTime Might it be nerve pain that you're experiencing? That can be quite "zingy" after node removal.

Thanks Haunted Hope you are recovering OK from stage 2 op.

Hope everyone is going well. I’m now a few weeks after chemo and waiting for surgery. Bilateral TNBC so having a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Just waiting to get the date confirmed.

I’ve decided to go for reconstruction with implants as I had issues with clots so a shorter surgery would be better.

Not a question I thought I’d have to ask but it looks as if the surgeon will go in via the nipples and that they will be reconstructed as well. I’m a bit worried about this, anyone with experience of this out there? I’m looking for some reassurance. I’ve got over the chemo a bit and now I feel like I have another massive mountain to climb.

Thanks :)
