    Best wishes tomorrow
    I wish you the best tomorrow. I am undergoing delayed reconstruction with a Latissimus flap. (54 yr old 5 yr survivor DCIS left breast) I don't know your diagnosis but know that this disease is a process to move through....to experience all the emotions........ grief from loss of breasts......relief....that it was found earlier than later... a step is made each day......and you are further along to being past the hard part. I am envious you are a candidate for a tram...I was not....having the tummy tuck as a side benefit would be welcomed by me.
    Have faith in your surgeon and those around you. At my surgeons advice in 05 I elected to spare my breast underwent required radiation....now five years later with drastic difference in the size of my affected and unaffected breasts, I decided to reconstruct starting with a recommended mastectomy.....the biggest advantage beside cosmetically; I no longer need to worry about reoccurrence. Though hindsight is 20/20 I sometimes wish I had done the bilateral mastectomy five years ago and not experienced the drop in self confidence with the deformity I experienced. In a year when you shower and dress and look in the mirror there will not be the drastic reminder that this disease affected you.
    From where I stand you are doing what is best to put this all behind you. Blessings!

    Yes it does suck!
    and being anxious is a normal part of this ride. But you are 1 among many warrior women and you will be surrounded by love, prayers and positive vibes tomorrow. Take time to rest and recoup and join us when you can. Lola

    Cyber hugs and Prayers
    Helen I totally agree that "this disease sucks", so much so that I have a pair of socks that say so! It's normal to be nervous and very understandable, I will be praying for you. Please be kind to yourself and soon enough you will be healing and moving about.

    Hugs,
