I'm sending you all of thesmalldoggroomer said:I had a right side
I had a right side Mastectomy last Nov. It wasn't as bad as I though it would be. I never had reconstruction and am not going to. Now a year later I wish I had removed both. Then I would have been even. for me that would have been better. I'm sending you prayers and strength. You will be in my thoughts on Wed. Please let us know how you are soon as you are up to it. I felt great the next day. Only spent one night in hospital. You will be fine. We always imagine things worse then they turn out to be. take care Darlin Kay,
I'm sending you all of the support and encouragement you need Sue.

Bilateral Mastectomy w/o reconstructionmamolady said:Bilateral Mastectomy. I did
Bilateral Mastectomy. I did not have recon yet. I still don't know if I want to or not. It is way more comfortable with out. I don't even bother with the prosthetic at all. At work I wear scrubs so it isn't that big of deal. My daughter went shopping with me to find clothes that look fine with out boobs.
Most people don't even notice. I just work with one person that seems to think I should get the recon........
Once I loose the chemo weight I will decide if I want to bother with the recon.

Sue: Good luck with your surgery. I will be thinking about you tomorrow.
Reconstruction is a personal decision and we have to make it for ourselves. I know you will make the right decision for you.
While mentally preparing myself for surgery, I could not face having to go back in for more surgery (reconstruction). The surgeon did assure me that I could come back in at anytime and have reconstruction done.
Just take care of yourself.

Good luck Sue with yourmissingtexas said:I had to have delayed
I had to have delayed reconstruction so went a year after my mastectomy. I never wore prosthetics. It didn't bother me. My choice to have reconstruction was because I did want to and there was a huge part that wanted things to look as close to normal for my 3 year old daughter...didn't want her to ever feel "different". I very easily could have left things the way they were. To be honest, the "wake up" was way easier than I expected.
Good luck to you!!

I'm thinking of you today and sending prayers that your surgery will go just fine and that you will recover quickly.
I hope that the pinkies aren't crowding the room too much for the doctors, but, we have to be there for you.
Post an update when you are feeling like it Sue.
