Re: 8yrs later I am gearing up for double Mastectomy

Praying already for you Rina, strength for you, quick healing...no complications/infections...wisdom for the doctors...all the details to God!!
I've REALLY been interested in this surgery...just not sure IF I have enough fat to give...I'm 5'3, usually weigh 120. I live in Nebraska...can have have it done at the UNMC, University of Nebraska Medical Center...yet have had a few problems with prior reconstruction with my PS, yet he feels I can do this...I have yet to have the CT of my abdomen, etc...
Anyhow...will look forward to your updates...so happy you've come this far...GOOD FOR YOU!!
