On February 12,  2020 I will be having Breast explant surgery.  This  article explains what many women are going through right now. I think that it is what’s in my mind presently. It is not the actual surgery and how difficult the recovery will be. What I am feeling is grief.  Honestly, I never felt the pain that I’m feeling now knowing that I will not have any breasts any longer. When I had my mastectomy they also placed my implants in. I woke up having nice round perky breasts. Now those breasts are going to be gone.   *Update*   Six months have passed and I’m feeling better every day since having explant surgery.   It was a couple of challenging weeks at first, but every day is better than the last.  I’m really glad that I had the surgery, and I encourage other women to follow suit.  The toxic bags are gone and I have such a bright future.  Ciao.  For now.        This article is in  My Favorites  ( Remove ) Sign in to receive recommendations  ( Learn more) 201

Sunday, March 30, 2008 Stephanie Mastini: 'My two battles with cancer' Kevin Spacey's former sister-in-law Stephanie Mastini has suffered two bouts of breast cancer in less than two years. Here she gives a graphic account of dealing with her illnesses - and offers advice to women everywhere. Steph! So glad you're on the mend. Tell us the history of your cancer problems leading up to the recent serious health episode. It all began on a relaxing sun kissed day. I was enjoying the sun and applying protection lotion when I suddenly felt a small pea-sized lump in my right breast. I knew immediately what it was. It didn’t move like the other cysts I had felt before. I have always had an uncanny way of knowing my body. I waited a few weeks to gather my thoughts and get prepared. I should have acted immediately. Act quickly. After a few weeks, I asked my internist to feel the lump. She didn’t think I had anything to worry about but had been my doctor for years
