My ultrasound
last week showed some shrinkage but not enough to save the breast
My
boobs are so tiny that even removing a small lump would take away most
of the breast tissue and it seems chemo isn’t going to make it anywhere
near small enough.
So the Chemo Guy has stopped my chemotherapy (hooray,
I hated it but eek, I want all the chemo you can throw at me) and
organised surgery.
I’m having a
mastectomy with an immediate implant (Yay!).
I didn’t want flap
reconstruction as this leaves too much scarring for me and anyway, I
“don’t have enough fat on my abdomen, bum or back to use”
(I’m taking this as a compliment, Mr Surgeon)

I've never wanted false breasts. I dislike anything false
but I think under the circumstances I will make an exception.
