Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Congratulations and thank you for taking the time to come in and share your good news. It is so wonderful to hear when one of us gets good news and sometimes people forget to post that. I pray you will continue to do well.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 I am so glad for you for your good news. I too had a bilateral masectomy but 5 years apart and I feel very light chested now too. I was very heavy chested and am 5' 1 " weigh quite a bit more than you do tho so now all the weight is going into my stomach and now I look like I am pregnant without any boobs. lol Have been trying to work on getting this weight down especially my stomach by going to curves but not doing a very good job with my eating habits. You take care now, God Bless, Love, Sharon F. > I just thought I would update you all since you have started to get > to know me and might be interested.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 That's just wonderful news !~ god bless you!!! Carol 's Good News I just thought I would update you all since you have started to get to know me and might be interested. I am the one who found breast cancer with my 3rd pregnancy. I'm 28. They came back with preliminary reports saying I had no lymph nodes positive on either side and that the infiltrating ductal carcinoma tumor was 2.0 cm. They did a bilateral mastectomy and found DCIS in my other breast. So we are so glad to have it all removed! I had no doubt that we needed to remove the other breast - but this just confirms it. I might be either Stage I or Stage IIa. Either bode a good result, as I am sure most of you all know the survival rates and disease free rates, and we will probably do chemo to make the results that much better since they can't possibly get every breast tissue cell. I am so thrilled to get that good news. I was so scared because my breast felt so hard and the area around the tumor was so inflamed. But fortunately, that's what it was - inflamed. So I just wanted to let everyone know, I am recovering well from the bilateral mastectomy and had very little bruising and minimal bleeding. My swelling has gone down tremendously and the scarring will probably look great with the natural crease line they did. I got a reduction too! I feel so much lighter! My pathologist report is taking longer because they have 9 pounds of tissue to go through! I am just a 140 pound 5'4 person too. I still have some pregnancy weight on me too. I am so thankful it was a better result than I thought it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
