SO MUCH has changed in the past year...in the past five years actually since my diagnosis. I have successfully undergone prophylactic mastectomy of my right breast, I currently have temporary spacers in place as SURPRISE....I got pregnant and was unable to go through my final surgery for my implants last year! I had a beautiful baby girl on February 21, 2015 and she has completely changed my life in so many ways! I never thought it was possible to love somebody so much! She makes me laugh all day long, she makes me feel a sense of wholeness and i wouldn't change my life for anything! After having my daughter I requested a follow up with my plastic surgeon who to my surprise requested a RE-Referal to look at the spacers that HE put in! I was very disappointed by this and i wasn't fond of his bedside manner unfortunately so i requested to be seen by a different plastic surgeon. To my surprise when i went in for my consultation with my new surgeon he informed me that we would need to start from ground zero again, we need to take out my current spacers, but in new ones that are the right size for my frame (I am currently an A cup). Then from there i will need to go through the weekly expansions AGAIN, and then have the final implants put in place four to six months after. As you can imagine, this news is very frustrating and saddening as it makes me feel as though i have gone through so many surgeries for nothing already!
Life is hectic right now and I don't get much time to rest. My dad (who lives with us) has many medical appointments, my daughter is starting to walk and is crazily on the go!, My husband works out of the house for three weeks at a time so we communicate strictly through FaceTime and to top it all of i have started my own business which keeps me going steadily however, i am in love with everything that i do daily and have achieved many of my dreams and goals that i had set in my life!
