Implant and LiftRubyTuesday, I am there now. I am at 370 cc and impants will be in May. I was always a B and said I wanted to be a small C. Now, I want to be a full c, I am thinking 370 cc should do it. Do you know what you had? I am just scared after all this I want to be the size my expanders are now.. I want to get something out of this.

Chemo starting Feb 2008?Hi Briget, I had a port put in Jan 8. No problems at all. Mine is an arm port. I was very bruised and it is very ugly but no pain. I had my expanders expanded the day before my port surgery. Huge mistake. I was in so much pain from the expanders. I was very emotional the day of my port surgery. Losing my hair today. My first chemo treatment was Jan 10 and they said my hair would fall out in 2 weeks. Yep, it is starting today, this is hard for me. Karen |
