mastectomy

$6,500
Finally pulled the big trigger. I had a debrisment surgery on 7/17 and a second on 8/2 both ripping open again. The strain of the weight of my breasts was too much for the fragile, damaged tissue. So this past Thursday 8/16/18 I had a bilateral double mastectomy. So now we wait to see if it will heal or not. I pray it does, otherwise I'm at the end of my road.

So I started this journey wanting a relief for the weight of my extremely dense breasts and end with absolutely nothing left. Not even my nipples

post op from Dr amazing

My surgery Tuesday went as best as could be expected. I was able Thursday to change my bandages for the first time. And I was amazed at how much he took at. But good amazed. He really did get a lot of the scared and damaged tissue out. 6 separate incision sites and 42 visible stitches with some subcutaneous stitches. Pain has been rough but he prepared me for it. I know it's still a long road but for the first time in 3 years I have hope again.

Wow you are so brave and an amazing woman! You have such strength!!! God has plans for you sweetheart. All the time missed with your children I can only imagine how difficult, but god is working. One day you’ll look back and know what he was preparing you for. So many good things ahead! Keep up that fighting spirit!! You’re amazing
A friend had the same thing and it was the internal "dissolving" stitches that were still infected with MRSA. As fast as you can, get the internal stitches taken OUT regardless of what any doctor says about them "dissolving." The stitches did not dissolve, and are most likely still infected with MRSA. Wherever your skin breaks open, get them to look for stitches. Get them to take them out. Then you will heal up. Good luck and God speed!

radical debrisment surgery

So yesterday I had my 5th surgery on my breasts. They did a radical wide debrisment of both breasts. Things went as well as could be expected but won't know if it will help for a while. But they removed a lot of damaged, Infected and scared tissue. 6 separate incision sites and 42 visible stitches. A few places have underlying or subcutaneous stitches. I'm cautiously optimistic that it helps, otherwise my next surgery will be a radical mastectomy
