Medical Alert Braclets For Lymphodema.

I have to say I think medical alert braclets for Lymphodema is an excellent idea. I want to get one to wear so people know they cannot take blood or blood pressure from my left arm where my nodes were removed. I already have Lymphodema and its a good way to alert people to stay away from your effected side.

The Next Step After Breast Reconstruction.

Since the reconstruction I'm doing great and healing lovely. It feels strange having a breast again after been without one for 2 years. It does take a bit of getting used to and feels a little strange and different from the other one. The next step is to go back to the plastic surgeon in November and talk about getting a nipple tattooed on the reconstructed breast and then go back on the waiting list to have the other breast reconstructed to match the new one. I had my doubts about having reconstruction done because I'd seen a video of a reconstructed breast and I did not like what I saw. I have to say my reconstruction was a lot better then I expected it to be and I feel more like a real woman again. If your thinking about having breast reconstruction done I say go for it. It will make you feel much better.

My Thoughts.

I have been meaning to write this for a while now. So many people out there are effected by cancer in some way and there are lots of people who have had nothing to do with cancer and think "that won't happen to me" after having cancer at the age of 38 it really opened my mind to all the different cancers there are out there. In my opinion some people don't even think twice about cancer until something bad happens to a loved one or themselves then they start to see things very different. Cancer is not easy to go through trust me I know. It's very important for people to be aware of all the different types of cancer out there and to check for changes and lumps or anything that your worried about. Don't be afraid to go to the doctors and remember it's better to be safe then sorry.
