Hi. This isn't a secret but I am soooo angry about the turn my life has taken. I want to share it with those who have had WLS and know what the first year post-op is like.
On 2/9/07 I "celebrated" the one year anniversay of my roux en y with a new diagnosis of breast cancer. I had spent the previous year working away after my surgery. I have lost 90 pounds and was feeling terrific. I have a lingerie drawer that finally has really pretty things in it.
I felt attractive for the first time since college. I had everything going my way.
I had my bilateral mastectomy on 2/15/07. I am home recovering (doing well partly because I weigh 90# less) waiting to hear about the kind of long term treatment I am going to need. I am so completely pissed off. I feel like my body, that I have been taking pretty good care of, is betraying me now. I have some absolutely beautiful bras from a regular lingerie store that I have no reason to wear anymore.
I am just plain mad and I wanted to share. Thanks for providing me with an outlet to do so.
