A DAY(s) IN MY LIFE

Well 2 years later and "I'm still ticking". I have somewhat digested the shocking news I received in June 2006 that I had breast cancer. Also, I remember the numbing agreement with my surgeon for a mastectomy and praying for the best. At this time, I could not decide on reconstruction surgery. I thought it was very expensive and I did not know how my initial surgery would go. Alas, the surgery went good and a few months later, I ventured to a recommended plastic surgeon. He told me I was a good candidate for reconstruction. I deliberated for a while and I felt I've been through a rough time and I wanted to be "repaired" to the best I could.

Several procedures later, I have a silicone implant which is fine! My implant though was like a face without features. I was told about getting tattooed (areola and nipple) I was at first surprised because I was being sent to yet another professional, "Laurie Lombardi" for this procedure. Again, I thought about it and decided to go for it. I'm glad that I followed through. My body and I really feel whole again. The tattoo procedure was 'lightweight' compared to all my others. It was less painful then getting a tooth filled at the dentist. (Really, really!) The tattoo was applied with much professional ability and compassion. Much care was devoted to this procedure and I felt safe and happy. My Doctor obviously sent me to the best. For me, the old cliché'- "I have the icing now on my cake." Say's a lot. It's all out there go for it!
