The New “Figure”
We met with a plastic surgeon who was absolutely the utmost lovely lady. Someone that specializes and only does post breast cancer surgery work. Again, I cannot stress how wonderful my entire “breast cancer team”. At each step along the way, the level of care and compassion has been outstanding.
We were immediate at ease as we went through the details of the surgery and options for reconstruction after my double mastectomy. I could not help to exclaim “That’s great news” when I first heard that it’s a double procedure surgery. So same day, the old breasts are removed and the new ones put into place. Things like that are such “great news” when you had prepared your self for two surgeries, the time in between and two rounds of healing. Great news that it’s all done in one day and I’ll just keep the recovery stages out of my mind for now.
What did we decide? We’ve opted to go with saline implants and the same size that God gave me, albeit they’ll just look like a younger set. As an aside, I do have to say the glimmer of humor in “Sue getting a boob job” has been a smile and laugh out loud for both the men and ladies…and at many points throughout the weeks! So, check the box, one more thing taken care of.
