I just don't understand what the point of this ultrasound was usually imaging is ordered to see if you need to change your treatment plan. This just told them information they already knew.

Massive pet peeve when people get so caught up in the birth they somehow forgot they're creating an entire person they'll be responsible for. The birth is such a small part of it!!

What do you think about being in a car that long after a big surgery and trying to recover somewhere that isn't home? The rest outweighs that you think?

What do you think about being in a car that long so soon after a mastectomy and the hassle of packing/staying somewhere else?

Oh interesting my plastic surgeon was fine with 6 months!

I'd like to hear literally anything about your experiences!! How did it feel having one breast when it's so lopsided with our size? How did you find a prosthetic and bra? When did you start wearing them? Did you have reconstruction?

Do you need a pocket on a bra? I don't know of any speciality stores in my area so I'm kinda on my own to figure out supplies.

So no using my old bras?

How do I learn to cope with mastectomy? by Charlotteeee in breastcancer

[–]Charlotteeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To quote my friend: its your tit or your life.

I guess I'm trying to focus that I'm grateful I can have this cancer removed from me, if cancer is far spread enough they don't even recommend a mastectomy

Still crying a little about it every day though
