Ok, sorry, I read your journey and you are soooo like me. No chemo or rad either and I also don't think my reconstruction is very good. They don't hurt, had to have them redone once on each side with separate surgeries! Had the overies and tubes removed along with a prolapse repair which with all this other stuff was the best thing to happen. Do have more hot flashes than before, but now I can sleep all night without going to the bathroom or dribbling on myself! Life is diff. now in the fact that I do look ok with my clothes on, but I really wanted the new boobs to look reasonable, they dont. One is flatter than the other, one has a really long scar and the other doesn't , one has a ripple in it. I was told by my onconl. that she sees alot of reconstruction and mine are middle of the road, shes seen better, but she has seen worse! Not a lot of comfort there! Going in sept. to see if some of the "dents" can be filled in with fat graphing. Not doing nipples, still deciding on tatoos. Let me know what you did/are doing. Thanks Lynn

Hi, I also had invasive ductal carcinoma stage 1 er+prquestionable age 59. I had a double mas. with reconstruction. What did you do?
