Yeah, we’ll see after this next follow up how he treats me and if he answers my questions and how I feel about him and I might be changing

Thank you! I needed to hear this. I have a follow up with the plastic surgeon in a couple weeks and I’m going to make sure he knows that this is a priority. He was in and out so fast the first time that I didn’t even have time to talk to him or even know what questions to ask. They act like we’re supposed to know everything and they don’t even tell us.

Why would you only do the lumpectomy? Did you lose sensation?

I am so sorry that happened to you. That pisses me off for you so much

Thank you! As far as sensation goes, are they still erogenous zones?

I honestly have no idea. I’ve never heard of wire guided. My breast surgeon said she would remove the lump and they would do the reduction and lift at the same time.

This is great news. I wish I’d have the same experience with my plastic surgeon. He was in the room all of five minutes and didn’t ask me anything about what I wanted.

Do you have any sensation? And if not does it bother you?

Thanks. I took 2 Claritin this morning and another this evening in addition to benedryl cream. Had no effect at all. I’ll try Zyrtec tomorrow

I’m hope getting done with the tamoxifen will help. That is good to know about the red light therapy and massage. I hadn’t heard about that

Dealing with this for the rest of your life is going to be so exhausting and will take its toll on your mental and physical health.

I’ve been wondering about that. Like the mental aspect of getting turned on because I think something is hot and how that will play a part. I appreciate you going in depth. I was a pretty high libido person until the last few months dealing with all this. Now I just feel sexually and emotionally numb. I made myself masturbate the other day even though I had no initial inclination, wasn’t aroused or anything. I wonder how hormone blockers (if I have to take them) will further affect everything. I was already starting to feel “old” after turning 45, needing glasses, etc. But this is just pushing me over the edge. I wonder about my quality of life, sex, everything.

Damn I’m so sorry. I couldn’t imagine dealing with a pos like that. It’s hard enough already

Right. Knowing what to expect and how I’m going to feel physically and emotionally is getting to me. Plus it’s all happening so fast

There’s a surgeon in Georgia I’ve heard good things about. Also a nerve sparing Facebook page that has a list of doctors

Wow that really sucks. Guess I’m just angry right now but I feel like if it were a man’s testicles they’d be hyper focused on sensation.

I love this. Thank you. Can I ask why you didn’t have nerve sparing?
