    So very true! I have meet women who are not really aware of the type of Breast Cancer they have. There are so many different kinds it is mind boggling.

    I am so sorry to hear about the problems you are having...I hope your surgeon will address the problems. I always say a stiich in time saves nine. My PS was not concerned I guess mostly because my implant was not exposed. I was ignored when I pointed it out to him. Get the best possible care. I am just looking at the posts so I will hopefully see how you are progressing

    Please be very careful not to over so it. I drove too soon after my surgery approx 1 week and I had my implant drop. Lot arm movement especially over you head too soon could cause problems please get specific instructions from your PS

    Depending on your surgeon...Please DO NOT over do it you will pay later for it. Driving to soon is a big no no as it could tear internal stitches. I had one implant slip as a result. Hopefully your PS will give specific instructions on exercise etc. Treat your body kindly. I am now suffering as a result of doing too much. No vacuuming etc. Some surgeons even tell their patients that opening a can in the first while(don't know how long) could cause damage. See how you feel. Iam sure things will work out great for you and your girls. Please get specific instructions from your Plastic Surgeon!!!

    So sorry to hear that your reconstruction experience was so bad. I know that it is hard I do have implants but the reconstruction is not very good. I wish you well I hope that there will be some more support for you here.
