To those of you who have the excess bulges after
your mastectomy. I had the "wings"(sides of my body) and "golf balls" (under arms) removed.
I am so happy I did it because I feel more human and less bothersome. It was an outpatient procedure, and again, the healing process.
I'm still unsure about reconstruction....need some time away from hospitals......don't have to tell you gals about that!!!!!!!!!!!!
