2.6 years post op diagnosed with breast cancer
It has been awhile since I post on the forums. I had adjusted to my ex planted breasts and was feeling good about being natural again! No more surgeries and hardness! Yay!
Well, it didn't last. After a routine mammogram I was flagged and called back in for more imaging. Then a biopsy was ordered and the following day I was diagnosed with Invasive ductal carcinoma and ductal carcinoma in situ (IDC/DCS).
I was stunned and in shock. 3 months later I am still processing this cancer diagnosis.
This left me with a dilemma- how do I reconstruct my breasts if I don't want implants? A after much research, I decided on a DIEP flap technique. The only draw back was size. It turns out I don't have a ton of body fat in my tummy area. Which I thought was funny because I has a belly.
I am currently healing from this surgery and will post results in a new thread on the reconstruction forum.

Nine months out
Hi all you wonderful courageous ladies! Here are my most recent pictures. My left breast is lower than the right. The right one had two capsulectomies so it has been through a lot. It is most noticeable in pictures that is real life.
Nine month post op update
Hi, I am feeling much better these days as I adjust to my new body. My breasts have gone through a lot of stages and now they ache as the sensation returns to the lower pole where my incisions are. There is asymmetry. The left breast which has had two capsulectomies is smaller and higher. It is really noticeable in pictures. In person it's not so bad.
I am sending good vibes to all who are embarking or already on this journey. It is worth it! Yes, there are days I struggle with body image and miss a proportioned body. However I feel much healthier and lighter. It has challenged me to deal with the issues that I tried to avoid with surgery.
XOXOXOX
