At the End of Breast Reconstruction!!!!!!!!!!

Hi this is Stepaheda,

I have not shareda Post for a very lone time, I'm sorry. However, I have a question if anyone can help me out there. I am scheduled for my final surgery regarding my double mastectomy reconstruction on May 26,2009. It was suppose to only be nippling, however due to completcation from my surgery in Dec, 2008 putting the perm-implants in. The doctor had to remove a lot of scar tissue, due to the fact that the expander on the left breast kept move to under my arm (right breast was the one with cancer), this is why there was a lot of scar tissue that had to be remove. But the problem started after the surgery, I got very sick with a cold, and I was down for about 3 weeks, this was not good, not enough movement. So my breast just swelled and filled up with fluid. So when I went in for my follow up visit the doctor was not happy. And because I live about 5 hour drive away from the doctor, he said let's wait and see if the swelling go down, but if there are any changes, please give me a call. Well, the swelling did go down. But because of this problem, now I have what they call "Capsular contractures" even more scar tissue, that will have to removed on this supposely last and final surgery, that was suppose to be only nippling. I was suppose to be getting ready to threw a party. So I'm coming to all my Lady Friends out there who I'm sure will have words of wisdom for me. Because I'm sure I am making too big of a deal out of the whole things. I just hope and pray that it is not too bad. That last surgery just was not a good one, as far as my healing and I think it is because I got sick with that cold. So it has left me with bad memories. Ok, I'm waiting for all those words of wisdom to start coming in.

Thank you in advance,

Stepaheda
