I didn't look for about 3 weeks
HI Ceesun,
It took me about 3 weeks before I could look at the scars. I had bilateral mastectomies with tissue expanders put in place immediately. My surgeons and oncologists looked, even my husband, but I didn't. The good news is ..............once I looked, it was not as bad as I had expected. I was healing nicely and the scars were reminders that the huge tumor in my breast was gone and that I would never have to worry about disease in the other breast.
