With any surgery there may be side effects that you were unaware of. This is particularly true with women who have had a mastectomy. Many of us spent hours researching our treatment decisions. We spent extra time with our doctors asking questions to help us understand what we were getting into. Even after all that, we still don’t know everything – or we just simply forgot in amongst all that information being thrown our direction.
I’m currently three years post-mastectomy and reconstruction surgery. I know it doesn’t seem long, but three years is still three years and it feels good. Over those three years I have talked to numerous women who have sought out my knowledge in hopes that their questions could be answered, or that I might have added insight that their doctors failed to relay to them.
