Re: Implant Question / Radiation Question - Concerns
Yes, I knew they would not last forever, but not that I couldn't keep getting them replaced. And I trust technology will evolve. Regarding radiation, it's been a year and that side is still very tan. I also was told I can't have a fake nipple done because I had so much damage so now I'm very mismatched. Still need to do the tattooing. The radiation side also is tighter so my breasts don't match, but they look fine with clothes and a good bra. BTW, I was 48 when I was diagnosed, and single. Good luck and I'm interested in hearing more about how you progress through the reconstruction as I'm thinking about getting a 2nd opinion on the nipple thing.
