Hi ladies (& gents)
Just thought I'd let you know that I am due to undergo bilateral mastectomy & DIEP reconstruction on 12 Oct (still having a fight with my private med insurance to cover this in full - I do need the extra stressssss NOT!!!)
Anyway here's to a flat tummy and pert boobies.
the good news is that my doc ordered a CA125 prior to surgery and it's 3 
Cyber hugs to all

DIEP
I had a double mastectomy and DIEP surgery June 25. I am now waiting for the next step, to have shaping and nipples done.
I agree the debulking was a much harder surgery to recover from than the DIEP. Although the repair of my 3 hernas with the mesh, has not been an easy walk.
Hope all is going well and that you heal nicely.
