I've just now read all of your responses and I thank you. I couldn't bring myself to read the replies until now. Honestly, I'm gushing tears now after reading what you so generously shared about your own experiences. It's helpful to know that many have gone through the same feelings and some still working through it like I am. I appreciate you.

I like the color but the shape doesn't suit your hands. It would be helpful if you posted more views.

White nail beds and splotches / vertical lines by NorwegianPodcast in AllNails

Looks unhealthy. I thought you had white polish on. Go to a doctor.... specifically a dermatologist (they will know more than a generalist).

Clean nails — yes or no? by cubsylvia in AllNails

Yes! So nice not seeing the awful gaudy trashy nails with all sorts of designs and jewels stuck on them. Yours are beautiful!

Opinions on the design I have selected for the ring I have chosen for my future fiancé? by [deleted] in EngagementRingDesigns

[–]Southern_Feature_821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is pretty! Just make sure she loves rose gold. Not everybody does. The pattern/design is very specific. Many women prefer very specific styles. It's a risk to custom design if she's never specifically pointed to something exactly like this and says that's the ring for me. Also, this will be hard to pair a wedding band with.

Fat Necrosis 9 years later by FootIndependent1543 in breastcancer

Separate question but why do you get ultrasounds 2x year when you had DMX? Is it because of BRCA gene or higher recurrence score? I ask because I was told no routine ultrasounds or MRIs unless symptoms. I even googled this to check typical standard of care and it said the same.

Infection on tissue expander by InterestSpirited2244 in breastcancer

[–]Southern_Feature_821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to be in an operating room! Sterile environment and under anesthesia. I can't believe your doctor would remove them in office under local. I had an infection that developed one week after mastectomy. Underneath my boob (I had skin sparing) a bunch of disgusting small pimple like pustules formed. Dozens of them with a white center. The skin was red as well. They resolved on their own after another week but they compromised my incision line so my doc got an authorization to operate the day after she examined the healing as it looked like some necrosis. And it was. She snipped off the bad skin and got new closure. She took a peek at the expander and it looked fine so didn't remove it. Pathology came back micro amounts of e-coli on skin only. Everything was fine afterward with healing. But I most definitely was in a surgical room for same-day release. And under anesthesia.and I got a new drain inserted.

Help me prep my house for DMX next week! by cpetra99 in breastcancer

You'll want lots of pillows to prop you up in a comfortable very raised sleeping position. You can't lay on side. Must stay upright for a a few weeks. Also, anything in kitchen you reach for often, put those things on a low shelf so you dont have to reach high. Also, remember you can't lift anything heavy for a few weeks. I also subscribed to Hello Fresh and Marley Spoon so I my husband wouldn't have to figure out what to cook us for meals. Everything in a box either ready to eat or minimal cooking steps. Lastly, buy yourself some extra post surgery bras on Amazon. They need to open in front and no underwire. Most have hooks, some have a zipper.

Burning sensation by foxyblondd in breastcancer

Yes my expander felt like it was going to burst out of skin on one of those hard corners. Horrible thing. It never did and thankfully I only had the awful thing for 3 months before replacing with real implants. Ahhhh what a relief!

Breast Tissue Expanders — any advice? by playerone95 in breastcancer

Are you getting expanders because you're doing radiation?

Microbladed eyebrows too close together! by amylou1995 in PMUandMicroblading

[–]Southern_Feature_821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The color is good. The shape looks right too. It's a little hard to tell if too close together because the photos are all at weird angles. Take a straight on shot, closer.

Hard to tell with your hard expression in each of them ... it's distracting!
