We've had the last surgery. This was the "boob job" surgery to bring us back close to normal. I was happy with my look before but this has sort of been something to look forward to since all this started. We did Mentor silicone implants, a small one on the "good" side and a larger one to match it on the mastectomy side. They gave me a peek just after I woke up (before alot of swelling) and it looks pretty good.
Right now though it's just alot of pain. I'm looking forward to a few days or a week from now when this is all over.
I'm really looking forward to only having some mammograms and MRIs in my future instead of Chemo and surgeries.
There's another option for later too. I can transplant a very small part of the "pokie" part of my good nipple to my now-scarred nipple. This will give it some projection and help it match the other. I'm scared to mess up my good breast but I've done very well trusting this plastic surgeon so far. He can do it outpatient with no general anesthesia too, so it would be easy and fast.
