WORTH IT
Breast Reconstruction
My second stage II breast reconstruction for dcis grade 3 b/c, is good to go with talented, (board certification+experience) soft spoken, ( concerned +focused )micro-surgeon Dr Gupta. He will complete a reduction and lift on both breast.
Finding that trust we placed in our doctor's... deep inhale long slow breath...it's big, but I also think the knowledge of our own intuition., it is just as powerful and should be respected . Soooooo marching on with this mantra “ my surgeon's is blessed with skill and integrity, I shall be just fine.'
In 2011 I had unilateral skin sparing mastectomy and a free tram flap by different surgeons in the OC. It was a big surgery I think, but in time my body& mind healed.
I took a break from having the second aesthetic part of surgery, trauma, funerals and family stuff to grieve and recover from.
So moving forward , I'm ready.....feeling physically fit (tennis)and mentally strong ( yoga&meditation)
.

I have been "enduring"tissue expanders since last Nov.
I will have silicone implants. I am not complaining- so happy to be cancer free at this time :-) You are looking great!

Today went for a walk by the ocean, beautiful day, felt good, healing fast.
Hi heart.felt, thank you for posting!
You mention you're getting a reduction and lift on both breasts - how much of your breast was removed during the 2011 surgery? Was the surgeon able to save most of it?
Good luck on your upcoming surgery and please keep us posted!!
And enjoy those beautiful wind chimes!
So now the second surgery contours and lifts both.
