On October 18th I had nipple reconstruction (I had my double mastectomy/reconstruction May 5th and finished radiation July 13th. When he took my nipple covers off I had two very dark brown large mounds initially. We have talked about how that was indicative I would lose some tissue, etc.. NOW, this is what my right nipple looks like. A big booger. I understand this is necrotic from talking to my doctor. Last night it finally came off. My doctor says it can heal, but I have no idea how.
