Falling down the rabbit hole!
After 7 years ...again...IDC. prior lumpectomy, single dose rad, 4 rounds chemo..2 years tam, and other....bad reactions
prior/existing autoimmune issues.
Due to other bizarre med issues in March after 4 ED visits....they just happened to see "something" on the CT. Yep...who knows how long...it was by accident they saw it.
Now my issues are....and Im sure there are 100s of posts. Im just too darn tired to even look.
DMX, single, ...recon on one/both. or not...recon on rt/ eventual reduction on MASSIVE ....well was a 34 GG (128lb sz 4 in January this year) Now....dunno....gained 50+ lbs in 6 weeks...Drs still not sure why...It was not from food!
I am dealing with body issues from blowing up like the willy wonka Veronica....had 1/2 teeth removed due to autoimmune issues...now...goodie...One Boob or two....would you like a cup bitter tea with that! Too much to even write. I cant even clean my house...try putting 50 lbs on your back in a short time. Your body doesnt like it!~!
I have fallen down the rabbit hole...add a healthy dose of covid with a RN hubby working in the ED with covid pts everyday....(risk exposure) and ..I have been like many a prisoner at home since.???..I now live in the land that time forgot!
Not sure I can deal with being SOOO lopsided...especially since the weight is rough on my back/neck. I just dont understand just doing one with tissue expander....expansion for later due to covid.....no time frames....Then going back for a reduction on left.....then after expansion.... implant...the surgery numbers keep going up. All I get is Its your decision..... and will not know when anything will be done and deal with the other.
I wanted reduction....prior to new BC.....

LittleGrammieTre, just wanted to acknowledge you and let you know that I hear you. That's a heck of a lot to deal with and freaking sucks. I hope you gather all of the information you need to make the best decision for yourself. Big hugs.

I second that - I cannot imagine how you are feeling right now though you did well communicating all you are going through... that is soooo much! As HappyAnyway stated - I do not want to offer advice - it truly has to be your decision... I'm glad you are on the site. You know it will help you a lot - it's why you are here. I too just want to send validation of all you have going on.

Still falling down the rabbit hole. The farther I go the deeper I fall.
Thanks everyone....I am in that eternal loop of what I want to happen and what I feel in my heart that perhaps I should not do. BUT ...
Need info. Anyone else had a DX tumor encased in scar tissue POP after injury...then split into 3 parts? Overnight?
Not too much help or advice. from Drs etc......Understandably... this just got so much more complicated......sometimes you need a bit more informed guidance .
we all have a story....sometimes the backstory is so bizarre that you begin to feel it is absolutely normal!!! ....It seems I tend to draw to odd ball lottery ticket on life stories. Im told to write a book and blog because it is so bizarre.
New movie......"BIG BOOBS with exploding tumors" .....(teaser.... More to come with pictures & story of being eaten by an adjustable bed).....but I digress.
Anyone have info....? Surgery 2 NOV...complicating issues...in addition to POP goes to BOOB bomb.
Stay tuned!
Despite it all have HOPE and FAITH!
What life throws at us is NOT about ourselves. Instead it is about the light and hope we can shine to others in our darkest times. As a lighthouse and beacon to shore!
