I’ve watched all of your journey videos and I have to say you are a true inspiration. I’ve watched all the vids in one day because my daughter has found a breast lump which will be biopsied next month - June 2024 - and just in case it is cancer I’m trying to find out as much as I can for her. She also has three little boys. God bless you and have a great post cancer life. ❤ You look fabulous bye the way. 😍
I am SO glad you made this series. I'm at the beginning of my ILC journey. My DMx is on Feb 7. It will be a Goldilocks mastectomy with DIEP in 3-6 mths if no chemo or radiation are needed (fingers crossed for clear nodes and pathology finds nothing hiding!). I was glad to hear your honest discussion of your DIEP process. I had lumbar fusion surgery 2 years ago and had the same thing happen with that incision site. Because I am a hefty girl and the original sutures just weren't strong enough. Had to have a revision to clean out necrosing tissue a month after that original surgery. Your experience gives me pause on doing the DIEP. If I have a decent breast shape with Goldilocks I may forgo the reconstruction. I'm glad you are on the other side and ready to enjoy life with your sweet family.
it's a personal choice and it's something that nobody can decide but you! whatever you choose will be right for you and I support that! i'm glad you found it useful
I am so happy to have found your channel. I am scheduled for a biopsy in 2 weeks. So, nothing concrete yet, but still trying to gain an understanding of what could be. Thank you for sharing your experience. Wishing you all the best! 💗
I appreciate your videos... They helped me through a lot. Had my surgery (lumpectomy with bilateral reduction). Didn't have much pain the first couple weeks (which was weird), but I did start having tightness and some pain several weeks after. I will suggest that you check out the benefits of using castor oil (externally) for aches/pains and skin healing...Good luck with everything 🙏🙂
Thank you for this. I'm getting the deip flap in the fall, just the one breast that had mastectomy and breast lift on the other and I'm not sure if I want to go through so much pain but you r doing it so maybe I can too! ❤
Hi, if you don’t mind me asking what’s the reason for a phase two surgery? I had a mastectomy ( left breast) in 2023 and just had my diep flap February 2024. Just had my third drain removed this past Thursday. Yayyyy Still healing everyday…
I'm very happy to find someone who is sharing now ❤. Thank you. There is nothing current on CZcams except yours, so thank you
You are so welcome!!!
I’m so proud of you! Having my diep flap next month and you’ve given me hope!!!
Thank you so much and I wish you so much love and luck

You totally could and it’s so worth whatever pain I had in my opinion! You have to go with your gut I wish you so much luck!
I just got diagnosed with lobular breast cancer. I’m 74. Just starting my journey. 😢

Many time you need a small procedure just to fix the way the scar falls and these little love handle toe bumps that can occur
