Congratulations. I finished my chemo on 6/25/13 and had my final reconstruction on 7/24/13. The 3D nipple is next! Best Wishes.
The first couple is weeks I still felt slow and lazy, but each day it gets better.

Hello,
I only had mastectomy on the right side. Also, I was able to get my permanent implant during first surgery and then last month my surgeon reduced the left and did revision on the right. I have heard over and over again how ppl feel so much better with the implant!! Glad I missed the expander part of this journey. The implant gets tight sometimes at the end of long day. Nerves and stuff coming alive my dr. Tells me. Wendy |

lucky you!! congrats! I would love to get implants all in one day if thats possible. Since I am having chemo first I won't know my mri results until i am done chemo 9/13 . 3 more cycles:( of DD Taxol. I bet its such a good feeling to have the chemo over with. i keep telling myself just a little over a month left but sometimes its really hard.
