Re: I have a plan!

Hi MR!
I'm a member of the "ittibittititticommitti!!" Size A on a good day!!
You can read my signature, as to my right breast...I am still recovering from the infection after my mastectomy. I really wanted to be DONE with both breasts, however, my BS told me that DCIS would not go to my other breast, therefore he would not remove it.
I was also tested before surgery for the BRCA 1 & 2 as I'm adopted, thank God I am negative.

In fact, I saw my BS today, we did talk about possible reconstruction again, maybe in a year...he knows I am so very, very scared to go under the knife again as I don't have much skin left to mess with! He told me, if or when I'm ready, we'll talk about it and he will advise me with a very reputable plastic surgeon...I still am a long way off...

So many questions for all of us...seems like you are making ground...keep at it...great job!!!

These gals are SOOOOOO FULL OF KNOWLEDGE & WISDOM!!
