Op is 4 weeks today, and i'm in need of some words of wisdom!

So it’s only 4 weeks today until I join the boobie club!!! I’m so so excited, but the other day I read an article which has scared the living daylights out of me!

I work in a Publishing company which deal with all the newspapers and I made the mistake of flicking through the Metro Midlands the other day (a paper which I would not usually read) and I saw the headline that went something along the lines of ‘Breast implant patients are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer’. In the article it did say that it wasn’t caused by the implants and it was because with implants it is harder to find breast cancer in it’s early stages but it has stuck with me for days now and instead of feeling overly excited which was what I was feeling before I read this, I now feel sick and am wondering if I am making the right decision 🙁

Help and words of wisdom needed please girlies, I 100% can’tttt back out, I have wanted this for years!!!! I am booked with Dr Schiavone for Saturday 8th June! xxxx

I read that too, but you just need to keep on top of checking your breasts, and i think you can pay for an MRI scan (I dont know how much it costs) which does a thorough check. xx

Hey sweetie, I haven’t read the article but all the advice I was given (my aunt is recovering from bc) was to keep a good eye on your boobs for any changes and if you ever go for screening tell them you have implants as they have to adapt the way they screen to take into consideration the implant. BA is so common now though that they have ways of checking. As long as you know what normal is for your boobies I don’t think you will be any less disadvantaged than anyone else. My aunt knew her boobs weren’t right and went for a check and thats when it got detected so get to know your boobies 🙂 You won’t be able to not, I am obsessed with mine. Constantly looking at them from every angle, analysing them, touching them, squeezing them, massaging them and taking pictures ha ha. I love them and can’t see me losing interest soon.
Try not to worry and Good luck for June xxxx

Ah okay thank you! I’m going to look up MRI scans and I think i’ll have them regularly to keep peace of mind (if they’re not mega expensive that is) xx

Thanks so much Misfion! That’s made me feel a bit better! I’m sure I will love mine once they’re done! Hopefully i’ll finally start to feel excited again instead of sick! Thanks girls, feeling reassured already xxxx
