From the other side of reconstruction...
Well ladies (and gents) I'm on the other side of my proph mastectomy with bilateral DIEP reconstruction - WOW what a ride! That surgery is not for the faint of heart, it is no picnic. But NOW, I'm already feeling so much better (1-week post-op) and just on Tylenol for pain. Hoping to get my last 3 drains pulled today, which will make life much easier. Already loving the results, and got the pathology on my "good" breast - no cancer, all normal breast tissue - YAY! Still glad it's gone though. Ended up bigger than I went in!
Anyway, just wanted to share with some of you that are thinking of recon.Glad to be back in the land of the living and catching up with all of you.
