Lol, yes, you indeed were mentioned! And congrats on your NED status—I hope everything goes well with your six-month checkup. Even though I am still in the middle of it all, I am done with treatment and just have surgeries left to do, including revisions and the implant for my hearing, which 'fucked off' during this whole process. They haven't used the term 'NED' yet, but I am hopeful that when I see them again at the end of the year, they will.
​As for why they didn't recommend a DMX as the first course of treatment, it was only on one side and was only stage 1. They recommended an SMX or a lumpectomy. But with my family history, I wanted that s*** out of me completely. I didn't want any of that tissue left; it had turned on me, and I’ll be damned if I was going to keep it and wait for it to happen again. My pathology after the DMX actually showed that my right side had proliferative cells that were changing in the nipple, so it might not have turned yet, but let's face it: it would have. So, I am extremely happy with the decision I made.
​As far as going flat, I did a lot of research and couldn't justify putting implants into my body while I was fighting cancer. Obviously, you went the route I considered—using your own tissue—but I did a lot of reading and joined a lot of groups where I saw many rejections, infections, and people eventually opting to go flat anyway. After going through so much trauma, I just didn't want to take any chances. I did consider a 'Goldilocks' closure, but I couldn't have nipple-sparing surgery. I also thought about getting it and having a tattoo done later, but I honestly just got tired of all the constant consideration. When I really looked at the idea of staying flat, I felt a lot of peace about it, and that’s how I knew it was the right decision.
​When I told my breast surgeon that I was going to do the DMX, she asked me how I reached that decision. She didn't want me to lightly gloss over it; she wanted me to sit there and tell her the entire process from point A to point B. I explained my reasoning, and she was very satisfied that I was doing the right thing for me, so she gave me her blessing—not that she wouldn't have done it regardless, but she did agree. My oncologist was also extremely happy about my decision and told me it was the absolute best one I could have made.
​So yeah, I feel pretty good about things. Considering I dealt with necrosis and infections and have had to have multiple surgeries, I feel like, for whatever reason, I might not have done well with any kind of reconstruction. So, you know, hindsight has validated my decision as well. But I sure am glad that it all worked out for you!

Okay, here is your midday peek at the hole in my side. I'm not very happy about it. It hurts and it's nasty looking. Oh well!

Fuck, that hurts only to see it.

But I know one guy that must be happy. One more hole is still a hole

Ok so you're beautiful, wowza.

i hate to see these incisions acting up and giving you such woes. Have you had previous surgeries or major incisions, or lacerations, and if so did those also heal slow?

i also had a breast procedure (not cancer, a botched reduction which became basically a removal) which did not heal well. i remember that just waiting to see where the skin edges would finally decide to, i guess, stop dying and scar over already. Strange experience waiting & watching one's own body knowing it's the Fates time to decide.

RIP boobies, it looks like you made sure to give them a rich and fun life.

Are you planning to get reconstruction after all this? (I am years post procedure and still on the fence.)

You. Are. Gorgeous. Wow.

You are an absolutely beautiful woman, before and after. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Here's the link to Hunny's latest episode of Dead Tit Society (DTS) if anyone is interested in following her podcast on the life and times and subsequent unceremonious departure of her breasts.

Hello!
Thank you! You are sweet. 😊 I definitely (eventually) gave them a fun and full life! Lol

I have had other procedures and have never had any issues with healing! Im sorry to hear you have had your own challenges with healing.
I made the decision to stay flat. I had an AFC and we are still working on it. I have another surgery on Sept 2! Hopefully the last. Then remission! 🤞

Thanks so much for the message! I loved it. 💋

"Unceremonious departure"

I chuckled. Sorry about that.
