I am sorry to hear that you are going through that. I had the same thing happen to me. My suture sight opened up and they had to leave it that way because of the infections. They finally healed and I received my implants and have not had the infections again. I wish you the best of luck and keep looking forward for the day that all that is behind you. Remember that this is just a little part of your life and things do get better.
Good luck and keep your head up because there are people out there that care.

I am just 1 year post mastectomy. I am back to doing most of what I did before the surgery. I even have a full head of hair again. It feels good that I can style my hair every day. lol
Just keep in mind that everything does get back to almost normal and it doesnt take very long. I thought that since my mom and sister died because of this that I wasnt going to survive but I fought anyway. Now I am cancer free as of April of this year and doing all I can to enjoy life.
It does happen, and you just got to keep thinking that when days look bleak. I did and am doing good now.
Good luck and know there is always someone to talk to here because we all care about you. I will keep you in my prayers at night and please keep me updated on how it is going
with all best wishes

I just found out yesterday that i have invasive ductal carcinoma and will be going to discuss everything this Thursday. He mentioned a masectomy. I am so scared. Not sure yet of course, until surgery, if it is in any lymph nodes or if it has spread anywhere else. Did either of you have it spread anywhere else? Were lymph nodes involved? I am trying to think positive. I need to keep working through this. Is that even possible? My insurance is through my job. Please respond with any information at all that could help me or encouragement. I would be forever grateful for your support.
