3 Month Update

I saw my oncologist last week. Everything looks good. He did some blood work, which came back fine. I have the green light to get started with reconstruction! I don't have to wait until fall. So, I need to get in touch with the plastic surgeon, have a consult, pre-op and surgery to put the expanders in. I chose one of the top plastic surgeons in Seattle who specializes in breast reconstruction. He works closely with my breast surgeon. The expander is basically an empty implant that is placed under the pec muscle. Each week it is filled with a bit more saline and over time the pec muscle stretches out. After that process is complete I'll have a "swap out" surgery. After all I've been through this seems pretty easy. By this time next year I should have the new "girls".
