Saw my surgeon today....

8 Replies

Had appointment this morning, not seen my surgeon since my last inflating of expander in January, she examined me and was really pleased with how my mastectomy scar looks after having had radiotherapy, she said it looks like we've got away with it, although radiotherapy is the gift that keeps on giving!! Looks as though I'm having next op around September, this is to pop proper implant in. 6 more herceptin injections to go too. I am getting ready to get off this train! Yay. Hope you all well fellow warriors x

Hi 1508

I'm sure that the most likely outcome will be that its just tightening of the scar, have you had radiotherapy previously? But good on your care team for being thorough. Positive thoughts x

Hi there, lovely to here some possative vibes....well done you...you will soon be enjoying your new booby yehhhhh, I'm celebrating too, they found a lump in my reconstruction 2 weeks ago had biopsy, bone scan, Ct Scan. All came back possative, lump was fluid...three and a half years in, and I'm still a warrior my friend....your stop is coming good luck for Sept big hugs xxx

Glad to see everything went well. I finished my chemo and will probably feel better just in time for my hysterectomy. The cancer train is one ride we would all like to skip. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right? Stay strong.
