So long story short. When I was 18 I had cancer which was treated with chemotherapy and steriods....those steriods made me go from a 32E to a 32G. I believe I'm getting a breast reduction and a lift. I hope to get less back pain, less pain in general and less body embarassment from this procedure. **

Will your cancer effect your ability to heal? Please add pics

I don't believe so but it will effect the surgery. My treatment was an assortment of 4 drugs which was shortened to A.B.V.D, the B is Bleomycin which damages the lungs. Due to the lung damage I will have to have lower oxygen levels during surgery but my oncologist hasn't had any other concerns besides that. I'll be putting up my pictures soon.

I know this website is a safe place but taking pictures mortifies me

Thats one of my big fears but I know that my body can't handle anymore weight so when I get to that point in my life where I am done having children I will have to figure out what I will do. And its wacoal, I love it, and its soooo supportive. PLUS its in a so many colors!
June 24, 2015
Definitely my worst fear... But on the flip side can't wait because it will mean I'm really doing it (be a while yet- need to come up with the funds)... Good luck [RS bleep]

Taking photos was not self esteem boosting

Hi Eve, I'm sure having the larger breasts has been physically uncomfortable, but I honestly think they look fantastic from the front especially! Do you really need a lift? You shouldn't be mortified at all, keep us posted and try not to worry too much this week.

Physically and emotionally, but thank you! They're lifting me because the nipples on each side are between 1 inch and an inch and a quarter lower than where they should be. I'll keep updating, my pre-op is tomorrow!
June 24, 2015
Oh, okay. They still look perky though, so no worries. I have D's and they are definitely not that uplifted lol. Hope your pre-op went well!

You're a brave woman :) I know how you feel and had my br on June 10th. You'll be thrilled not to have to carry that burden anymore. All the best to you!

Yes, so far everyone has been so supportive and its nice to hear esteem boosting commentary!

They look full and firm even without the bra. I'm curious if they hang and where do you feel the pain. In your lower back or shoulders?
User Avatar
June 24, 2015
Hang how? Usually the pain is in my lower back but many time when I'm trying to exercise my neck and shoulders hurt just because Im wearing extra bras to lift.
June 26, 2015
Hang as far as like drooping or heavy feel when bending or exercising

Agree they look pretty good
