Does anyone have implants?
I had a lumpectomy to remove my cancer, I'm about to start radiation. I'm worried as to the effect it will have on the implant? I asked my oncologist and she said there is a 50-50 chance it will. Has anyone had my problem?

Need to decide on double mastectomy - please comment
I had a lumpectomy and partial mastectomy last summer. I was unable to complete the recommended rounds of chemo and did not have radiation (both due to medical reasons). My breast surgeon is suggesting that I consider a double mastectomy because of my "suboptimal treatment". My next appointment with her is on April 7th and…

outrageous comments
Ok, let me preface this with the fact that I truly don't think she was trying to be cruel. A co-worker, that has actually helped me out a lot during and after treatment, told me the other day that I should hurry up and get my reconstruction done so I don't look like a boy anymore. I had talked to her some about possibly…

I FINALLY heard
