'Tidy Up' after bilateral mastectomy

At last! Three years after my operation I have plucked up courage and had those annoying lumps under my arms, 'dog ears' removed. I can now put my arms down by my sides without feeling as if there is a brick under each arm. I can wear tight T-shirts without unsightly lumps and bulges and I no longer overhang the top of my swimsuit under each arm. Life is wonderful again!!! Such a little thing (or two) but what a difference.
Love to all
Jennie

Congratulations Jennie and what a shame you had to wait so long. Wouldn't it be nice if the surgeons could get it right first time.
Here's to the new-look you for 2012!
