She has had a masectomy and decided against a reconstruction as she's happy with her fake breast, plus she also had infections in it since the op. It's going but it's so slow.

Ok except for a hematoma that had to be removed...

They took the left breast and all the lymph nodes. It was not a painful surgery..just painful to the heart.

Let's hope so...

It has been very hard for me to deal with my mastectomy. Its ongoing every day.

My oncologist told me it was a success. I have this weird numb feeling on the site of surgery but I was told that was normal and of course one boob is smaller than the other:)

Having the mastectomy cured my cancer. I didn't have to have further treatment.

Reaction to Benzoin when staples were removed because my surgeon forgot I was allergic to it. When I healed from THAT, I did well. I now wear a prosthesis because I didn't want to have yet another surgery.... The prosthesis works fine. Four sentinel nodes were removed, and even though they were clear, thank God, I do have lymphadema now, so I wear a sleeve and do lymphatic massage.

believe or not, he was out of the hopital the next day. It was Christmas eve day and he was determined to spend it with family.
