Mastectomy or wedding

That's great to hear, Denise! I was thinking about you today at work and wondering what you had decided to do.

Thank you for your concern! Now I'm scared cause it's coming really fast but this way I get to heal way before my wedding so it all works out

Denise that is wonderful news that you can have your surgeries, it is a blessing, I wish you good health and full recovery please keep us posted, I am so very happy for you.

Aw, I'm so happy for you, Denise.

I will keep you in my thoughts/prayers.

Excellent Denise. Hope you recovery very quickly

So sorry to hear that you have to go through this, but I'm happy for you that you have a quick decision! I think you're doing the right thing. My nieces father had to be tested for the gene too, because his parents had it and gave it to two of their daughters/his sisters - the one battled a severely aggresive breast cancer that resulted in brain cancer very quickly before she died. (Thankfully my brother-in-law is negative which means my nieces are too, it was SUCH a relief to know that.)

Good luck with everything! You, your health, and your wedding are in my prayers!

Again my very sorry that you are going through this

Im very glad you can have it now

(((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))

on a side note, when your choosing implant size...go about 125cc's bigger then you think, as the mussel compress's it and it will give you size that you want

I'd get a second opinion. Don't go rushing into surgery without opinions from at least 2-4 doctors.

You have gotten some great replies. I just want to add my prayers for you right now because this is a lot to deal with. I pray for the best possible outcome for your situation right now.

I'm proud of you. If it helps my mom's recovery from mastectomy and reconstructive surgery wasn't nearly as bad as she expected. You shouldn't have pain at all thanks to the meds, just an uncomfortable feeling as muscles stretch and get back in place if that makes sense. Look at it as a time to rest and take care of yourself, sleep a lot, read magazines, watch trashy TV, whatever. Feel free to PM me if you have specific questions that I can pass on to my mom.

I'm so happy to hear you can get this all out of the way quickly, and still have your wedding as planned!

Denise I am so glad your insurance is cooperating. Sometimes, dealing with insurance is more painful than the reason you're calling them!

Take care of your health and then finalize your wedding plans when you know you're back to 100%. If you're not 100%, it's okay to postpone or change your plans.

Please come back and update us when the surgery is done and feel free to post for T&P on your way in..........this is a really supportive community here and people will want to know you're okay! (If you care to share, of course!)

Definitely get a 2nd and 3rd opinon. Cancer isn;t something you want to wait on if you have it, but you don;t actually have it and there isnt a100% you will. The surgies could be for nothing and insurance may not cover them. I would get screenings every 6 months and go from there.

Hi guys just wanted to give you all an update, Meeting with the Breast Surgeon on the 15th very excited!!!!! WE WILL SET UP SURGERY PLANS THEN! XOXO
