Research

I now feel like I know more about mastectomies than anyone should ever need to know. I've learned you should never google mastectomy photos, and that there are different types of mastectomy surgeries. They all involve removing breast tissue, but differ as to where the cuts are made (and where your scars will be) and the amount of skin being removed. None seem like very exciting options. Then there are even more options for reconstruction. I have an appointment with a surgeon tomorrow so I'm hoping to learn what types of procedures will work for me and my type of cancer. And for anyone keeping track, this is day 13 with a pretty hole on my chest from the biopsy. Keep praying for healthy lymph nodes!
