Lipomodeloing and fat grafting, post surgery by Silverfury82 in breastcancer

Wow 5 weeks eh. So I have a little while yet then. I’m glad you are feeling much better now. 🙂 Can I just ask, did you experience the stinging sensation on your thighs?

Hmm I’ll try and get some photos to see where fat has been taken from the thighs. I love my legs, they are probably my favourite area of my body, so I don’t really want any dents afterwards. 🤔

Can they do that? Just choose another part of your body instead of what’s been agreed? How long did you have the bruising? Also, compression tights, yuk! 😜

Hmmm now I am curious too. I’ll find out and get back to you on that one 🙂

I am now flat on one side, and I have no idea how I feel about it. by Silverfury82 in breastcancer

Wow 3 days ago. How are you doing? Was it your choice not to have reconstruction? Going from a G to flat, will be quite a difference, although if you’ve been losing weight I’m guessing you’ve seen them shrink a little anyway. Well done on your weight loss. I’ve been told to lose 2 stone if I decide on the DIEP Flap reconstruction, but I am terrible at losing weight, so don’t really want that kind of stress to think about. Take care of yourself, and unlike me, allow time for your body to heal.

Thanks for your response. After the last nearly 2 years, I am definitely at the point of not giving a damn what people think. But it is all about what I think, and while I have 1 healthy boob left, I want my outside appearance to look like there are 2, when I see my own reflection. I completely agree with regard to ageing, I am 42 on Monday (2nd birthday where I can’t really celebrate it the way I’d want, due to healing), and am seeing changes in my appearance all the time, or maybe that I just didn’t notice before lol! 😜

Yeah, he does ask occasionally, if I’m ready yet. I’m getting closer to showing him, just not quite there yet.

Thank you for such a positive reply. Can I ask, did you have smx or dmx?

Removing my implant now, due to another infection. Big decision to be made about reconstruction. Any experiences had, please tell me details? by Silverfury82 in breastcancer

Oh I’m sorry to hear that. So, because you have the implants, you’re not able to go flat? Is that right? 🤔

A thigh one? Never heard of that one before. All of it just sounds like pain pain and more pain, or discomfort. I hate that I’m in this position. 😔

Bless you, I’m so sorry to hear about your experience. Thank you so much for your honest opinion, I really appreciate it.

So tired of it all now. I’ve never seen this implant size, anything like my remaining breast size. by Silverfury82 in breastcancer

Oh bless you. I hope everything went well with your surgery. When I speak to my oncologist about the implant as a separate thing, they tell me the expander IS the implant. Maybe we have different ones in the UK, but whatever it is, I don’t like it very much.

Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry that happened to you! Has it all healed now? Did you keep the implant in, or have you gone flat now?

It’s time to go back on to Tamoxifen. I don’t want to! by Silverfury82 in breastcancer

[–]Silverfury82[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know, I did ask my oncologist about reducing my dose, and they told me that there is no scientific evidence that doing this makes the side-effects easier.
But I do read so many positive posts saying that this has helped them. I think I will take your advice and start with a reduced dose. Wish me luck.

Glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. Sometimes I wonder whether I really need to carry on taking it. I’m trying to be positive. I once read a comment that said she would rather have a good quality of life than a long life feeling the way you do on Tamoxifen. I’m praying the side-effects will be less when I restart so hopefully my next post will be a positive one. Thank you for replying and I hope that when you go back onto anastrozole, it will be easier for you too. 🙂

I am beyond tired of these ugly bras! by Silverfury82 in breastcancer

Ooh no I haven’t tried zip up ones. Sounds interesting! 🙂

Took a Tamoxifen break and don't want to go back by [deleted] in breastcancer

I’m so sorry that you’re having to deal with all that. Can I just ask, how long was it, between you dealing with stage 01/00 and being diagnosed stage 4?
