Margerie,
when you had the diep, do they still do a tummy tuck and use the fat from your stomach just leave the muscle?? Do the scars on the breasts show when wearing a low blouse? did you just tattoo nipples on then?

Ruth,
as far as the ovary removal. I am er/pr negative. I wanted them out so i didn't have worry about recurrence there. I was done having kids, so why not. We being er/pr neg. could still have a horome pos. recurrence. Are you done with your kids??
