    You have given me inspiration. I just started following because I will be having DMX in three weeks. With expanders. I've had very large breast since high school. I petrified. And you have made me feel justified in my feelings. You are so strong having little ones. Mine are grown. I'm so nervous about this surgery but more about what I'm going to look like. I've seen some good and some not so good. I know it's been years since you posted, but I hope all is well. I'm going to try and find all of your videos to watch them all. You have really touched me. I feel like I can relate emotionally to you. God bless you sweetie!!! ❤❤

    Who among the ladies here stayed in the hospital with heir first surgery? I went home after my first (hours surgery) and second surgery. Is there any reason why patients have to stay overnight even if surgery went well?

    Hello, I just done with my final surgery, after 3 months of waiting. I agree. Expanders, hard like a rock and does not move all. It slowed me down. But interesting how plastic surgeons go about this kind of surgery differently. With mine. The incision was made where my previous incisions are. And I understand that each patient (and their cancer ) have different cases too. Good luck to all of you🩷

    I am going through this now, but no radiation. My doctor told me NOT to overfill the expanders because the skin will pucker if the skin is overstretched. He also said he will not be cutting into original excision but making a new incision to reduce any chance of not healing or infection. You made me laugh because I can so relate to the hard baseballs. I call them oranges. Hard as a rock and immovable. I love not wearing a bra as I have no nibbles and they don’t move. I would love not wearing a bra after my implants. I still have 1 or 2 more fills. My assignment this week is to find pictures of breasts I like.

    Thank you so much for sharing your story. I hope everything has turned out wonderful for you! I am just beginning my unilateral tissue expander fills and will follow the same surgical path as you have. I had my mastectomy 6 weeks ago. I did not need radiation or chemo. Thanks for mentioning the estrogen blocker side effects. I am menopausal, 63 and the side effects are still a big concern for all ages with these medications. My cancer reoccurrence rate is 12% & my oncologist reports taking Anastrozole will reduce it to 6%. I am on the fence with the meds due to this but obviously concerned about my unaffected breast.

      Hello. Some they decide not to have implants. Others. They decide to have it. Each individual will have different choices based on their needs and situation. But either no implants or with implants , you do what is best for you. And whether a patient decides to go flat or with implants, they are all beautify and very brave😊

    Thank you for being this brave. It's 2022 & I just found you after 4 rounds of AC & 9 rounds of Taxol with my double mastectomy, reconstruction, & radiation approaching. It brought me to tears hearing how much you've had to battle & how much you still are battling, as well as being a mother of young girls. I'm a mother too & it's terrifying to think about what will happen to our kids if anything happens to us. I'm so sorry for your loss. You really are inspiring & beautiful.
