A Lot to think about.

[Guest guest]

Hi There ,

I went for my appointment with the surgeon today. He thinks that I

should think about having my other breast off . He also thinks I

should have my ovaries taken.

Do I or don't I? I have 6 months to think about it as my next

appointment is in April. He said that they don't usually do anything

for a year after surgery anyway.

On a positive note he said I'm doing very well.

I asked him about lymphodemia and my arm and he said that I should

be doing now what I was doing before the mascetomy, I said even

carrying heavy cartons of chooks and he said that I'm young and

should work up to what I was doing before.

I don't know how I'm going to make a decision on whether to get

my left one removed....wish that someone could make that decision for

me.

He said that it costs $1500 an implant,they aren't covered on

medicare.

He didn't give me any other options like the trams flap

etc...only mentioned the implants.
