Being equal
I too, have wrestled with the thought and the process since my diagnosis. I am healed now from the surgery and the radiation and it looks good. My main problem is not being equal and not looking like "me" in the mirror. You would think that at 52 it would not be a problem, but I am a small person with a C cup on the right side. When I don't wear my "buddy" I look very strange. I am fine at home, but when I go out without anything, I tend to slouch so you can't tell as easy.
I am leaning toward reconstruction with a Tram or a Diep so I won't have to deal with it.
One item that I have not heard from you ladies was how you husband felt about it? Mine has been wonderful through the whole thing. The only thing he will say when he see's me undressed is how sorry he is that this happened to me. I feel bad that when he see's me, he thinks about the cancer and what I, we, have been through.
I wonder, does having the reconstruction take any of that away?
If anyone can help with that question, I would really apprecatiate it.
Enjoy today everyone,
Emelie
