I am new here, I'm confused and overwhelmed...
I was diagnosed with DCIS during the holidays. I told my surgeon I wanted a mastectomy. During my meeting with the plastic surgeon, talked about sparring my nipples. My nipples[i] [/i]were way too low, he suggested to first do a reduction with a lift, and of course remove the lump. Then after this

My journey💗
Hello all. I'm new to this site. I basically just have a question for anyone who has had a double mastectomy. Did your drainage site burn sometimes like someone was repeatedly stabbing you with a hot poker? Just trying to see if this is normal or what.

Underwear post DIEP reconstruction
Hi all I'm having a bit of a dilemma as to what underwear, bras especially, to get in readiness. I underwent a mastectomy nearly 3 years ago and managed with sports bras that fastened at the back but of course this time I also have to consider the abdominal wound and also that my breasts are going to

Okay, so I am so tired of all my friends asking me how I'm doing & how great I look and how nice my hair is!!!! Ugh!!! I hate my hair, I gained a lot of weight, feel fatigued, depressed, have some new pains in chest. Had mastectomy June 2015, finished chemo last January 2016. I dread going to parties

Chemo Brain
Hello All. In 2013 I went through 16 rounds of chemo, 4 A/C and 12 taxol at 31 years old. I believe my Chemo brain \ fog has really progressed. I worked through my entire treatments, only took off for 6 weeks for the mastectomy, even did my radiation treatments on my lunch break. BUT I'm seriously thinking

Breast Reconstruction via Abdominal Flap Surgery
Recommend the abdominal flap after a mastectomy for breast reconstruction!!! Relatively painless and you don't have to worry about infection from implants!!!! Looks pretty natural. My surgeon tattooed on a nipple!!!! Partner pleased with the results!!!

You wanted to know about my journey I need you to go to my post My Story it will tell you alot about my journey. Plus I broke down and told you what I kept to myself. My cancer was in my left upper lobe. It was toward the outer,middle toward my under arm. It was a very small tumor. I asked my oncologist

Bookends
Here's the text of an essay I wrote for InMotion Magazine's My Amputee Hero, called "Bookends." (It's in the November/December 2016 issue, page 14, https://cloud.3dissue.com/75702/76051/90328/AC-2016-Nov-Dec/index.html). It's about the camaraderie between two "amputees." Hope you like it...
