  • This video compares the 'look and feel' between a tissue expander and an implant (before and after my exchange surgery). I was very surprised at how I felt when I woke up after the surgery and I'm very excited to pass this along to you! I hope this gives you some insight as to what to expect (keeping in mind that everyone's experience is different)🙏💫.
    SUBSCRIBE🌷 to come along as I continue to share more about my cancer journey and life as a survivor with the purpose of supporting you, and creating a space where we all feel less alone💕

    Thank you for sharing your journey. May God continue to bless you. I'm scheduled to get my exchange surgery in a few days after delayed latissimus dorsi flap surgery. I am so excited. Your video was very helpful.

    Thank you so much for these videos. I first got breast cancer at 15, but I haven’t been ready for breast expanders until now at 22. I’m a bit overwhelmed and regretting it but I’m so excited for this thing to come out.

    Thank you so much for sharing. I have delayed reconstruction in December. I’m 4 years out from inflammatory breast cancer. I’m so excited but at the same time wondering if it’s worth it?

    Hey I’m not trying to bring up past tragedies but I’m coming from your lupron video and I wanted to ask how the lupron reverse process went was it completely reverseable and the side effects or was there any problems that the lupron might’ve caused after not taking it

    • @ChelseyTarnow
      @ChelseyTarnow  6 місяців тому +1

      All good, I'm happy to put some thought into this question... honestly, the reverse process was very smooth. I didn't notice notice drastic change once I switched to Tamoxifen, but rather a slight improvement over several months time. I hope this helps💕

    Hi! I just had a unilateral right breast mastectomy. They did not really rec. removing other breast as a preventative. So Im having augmentation on the left breast for symmetry.
    Is this what you had done? And were you happy with the results.
    I was just looking for someone that had unilateral surg. I find mostly double mastectomy experieces.

    • @ChelseyTarnow

      Hi🌷! Your experience does sound similar to mine:). In my experience, I feel my surgeon was able to get close to achieving symmetry when *wearing a bra*. I believe I'm the only one that can notice a difference clothed. I hope this helps to answer your question🙏❤

    I got 32C prosthetics last month. Those things are heavy! I'm trying to get Pam Anderson boobs. But not sure if they can stretch me out that far 😂
