Leg 1

After getting The News, things moved very quickly.  Results were in on a Friday, and I was scheduled for a mastectomy on the following Wednesday.  This leg was fairly painless.  Reconstruction was started at the same time with a team of amazing surgeons, and I was quite ready to move on removing the other breast. That was put on hold by one of my surgeons who seemed to think I was making these decisions too quickly.  What he didn't know was that I had made these decisions long ago.  If you are an adult female, you've probably given this some thought, too.  I simply knew and felt it was the right thing for me.  But alas.  At this moment in time I have sprouted one beautiful perfect breast which sits high and mighty, gloating above the other....the "good one" seems to sag lower with each passing minute, biding her time until the summer perhaps when she, too, will sit protruding, perky, and proud.  I wait with bated breath.
