Almost 4 months since my explant!
I look and feel great!
My breast sure surprised me and my PS. No sagging! Still wear the same size bra. I am still fluffing but pleased right away.
Of course, right side I had breast cancer, 3 lumpectomies. Looks like a bite is outta the right!
If I am still cancer free in Spring, getting fat transfer to fill in the right.
Even the operated/ cancer breast is trying to fluff and fill in! So surprised at our bodies ability to heal.
I am juicing with Raw Green Food Detox.
For sure I was poisoned for many years by silicon! Thus all my neurological issues, even the inflammation of my coronary arteries( 10 stents now) that and dystonia started year 16 of implants. My type of breast cancer is not the type assoc. with implants but I'll always believe the leaking ruptured implants still caused my cancer. The tumor was "growing onto the implant near the chest wall" per my surgeon. Badly ruptured! Just a "mess" per doc. After researching implants, found out Implants increase our estrogen levels, make our hormones outta wac totally.
My cancer is estrogen driven, feeds on it!! No doubts here as to all the harm that has been done to me. Cannot turn back time, oh how I wish!!
As winter is here, new surprise, my breast are WARM.. In 30 yrs I had forgot how good that feels. They have been like snowballs forever..hard & cold.
It just feels so wonderful to have those toxic, heavy, cold bags out!
Thankful for all on here! And fb group who has helped.
Please know YOU are beautiful naturally. Bigger is not better or even sexier!! Society and the media has so much propaganda against woman. YOU are so much more than a pair of big boobs!! As Am I.and hey, my hubby gets some men's mags.. Yea I look lol and guess what?! Natural & small is making the pages big time. I ask my hub what's up with that? From a man opinion, " well with ALL models, sex symbols having Fake boobs it has been over kill, now natural is rare in films/ mags and men are craving the rare"... Ohhh the irony ladies.. The spice of Life!

So happy for you! I am 3 weels post op. So glad to be rid of the plastic bubbles.. Its been a sore journey but really feeling good now! Dont go back to work too soon if you must work. You will feel liked a new person once they are out. I had a general anethesia good thing cause, lots of sweating of silicone and breakdown of the implant shell so they had lots of work to do when ygey got in. Never got sick or anything, had a little patch behind my ear. Breasts are quite small but will improve and natural is so much nicer and healthier. So glad to hear about your tumour shrinkage. You are going to be just fine. Wont ne long til this is all behind you.
Hugs and thinking of you..

OrdinaryGirl I'm so sorry to hear about the cancer and hope that you heal well. I had my silicone implants put in below the muscle in 1987 in Illinois but I have no records to show what make they are. I'm trying to find someone in my area of (Wilmington NC) to take them out. I will be thinking of you and wishing you luck with your journey!

Hi OrdinaryGirl,
No I didn't do the surgery. I talked to Dr. R at Summit but his price was very high. I will at some point check out some others in the area. Thanks for the info on WPS I will be sure to check out Dr Kay.. Glad you are healing and feeling well. If only we could turn the clock back and know what we know now. I hate to hear about my daughters friends going in for surgery so young.

WPS Billed my medicare app. 4,300.00
I know each case may be somewhat different. I think the cost was reasonable compared to a lot prices I have seen others post.
It was done at NHRMC under General Anesthesia. I went home that evening & had drains. 2 follow up visits included.
Dr. & staff are awesome!

Hi all, I have a date set, April 9th.
For a month, I've been on medication to shrink the cancer & recent repeat scan shows it has. So explant & lumpectomy.
I'll be so glad to get it over with. So many tests, scans & appt for last 5 weeks.. Already exhausted!
It was confirmed that the Dr. 30 yrs ago, placed 1 under muscle & other under..wth?. Again, lied to! both I was told were under. Explains the difference in my breasts since day 1.
Positive vibes needed as I prepare for this surgery.

Those vibes may have saved me! In April & in June I had surgeries & ended up in ICU on a vent. Turned out I was allergic to anacef the antibiotic hung!
In oct 2014 finally had exolant. All went very well & I am totally pleased!
Next month feb 2015 I'll have scan to make sure the breast cancer has stayed away.. Hope so as 3 surgeries & recovery has not been fun!
Finally am feeling much better. Just started working out again :)
