Baldy Balderson - See my Scars after Mastectomy

[BadPennyDonnie]

Bless you dear.My wife just wet through a Radical Mastectomy yesterday to remove a large tumor in her right breast.She made the mistake of self diagnosing herself with the help of the internet.It took her losing massive amounts of weight and night sweats to realize that the lump wasn't a cyst.Please ladies,check yourselves regularly and have a doctor run the tests if you find anything.And remember,you are not alone if you are diagnosed with cancer.Your family feels the pain too.

All- if you want to cover your port scars, try Dermaflage. It fills in indented scars and totally conceals them. Works as long as your scar is indented and not too raised.

My mother is going to have a mastectomy in less than a week, (getting both of her breasts removed) she's at stage 0, will she loose her hair?

[BadPennyDonnie]

@bumbleboos It depends on the person.My wife had 8 treatments over 16 weeks and didn't lose all of her hair.She was however grateful to not have to shave her legs.

You're inspirational and beautiful, stay strong and keep positive. Well done and much love from Ireland.

I enjoyed your video. I had my Mastectomy and lymph nodes removed last week Friday. Pet scan next week and chemo in 3 or 4 weeks. My cancer is very invasive and praying it is not stage 4, it's stage 3 now.

Kinda of nervous of chemo. Did you shave your head before chemo or after you started loosing your hair?

[ChaChingQueen]

@meceu2 Sorry to hear you are in this club too, but the women here are awesome. keep me posted. I hope everything is clear in the pet scan.

How are you feeling?

I shaved my head after I started losing my hair. My hair started falling out after my second treatment - about 3 weeks from the start of chemo.

good luck and let me know how you are doing.

I am a breast cancer survivor also and I admire you for helping spread awareness I also have purpose with this journey I am helping women heal in comfort and dignity after a mastectomy. No more Old Man PJ's or husband's dress shirts. Come by and see my videos and watch how I raise $ to help our future sisters. Every 13 minutes a US woman will hear those dreadful words,"I'm sorry you have breast cancer"

face book me Cherie Mathews healincomfort(dot)com or maybe you can find me on you tube

[lorijeans59]

@cheriebmathews You know why we all are getting cancer? Cause it is and has been being implanted in us since 1955 with the polio vaccines.Google sv40 then click on either (Simian Virus 40 and Human Cancer - National Cancer Institute or SV40 Cancer Foundation. They tell the whole story and evil of it

Also google Dr Cornelius P Rhodes wikipedia and read about his evil connection with chemo and mustard gas (Planet Cancer) Only by the grace of God will anyone live through chemo and many will die

You are a strong woman !

[mastectomyshop]

Be strong, you are wonderful. My Grandma is a breast cancer survivor and she just turned 80. If you feel young you stay young.

[ChaChingQueen]

@mastectomyshop thanks for the kind words. I love hearing about survivors.

[longlivethe80s]

My girlfriend is scheduled to have a mastectomy in a little over a week due to breast cancer. We are both extremely nervous and very frightened. I hate the fact that she has to go through this procedure. Can you please share a little more about the pain associated with the surgery? Anyway, I want to thank you for posting these videos; they really make a difference.

[ChaChingQueen]

@longlivethe80s I'm not going to lie, the pain was pretty bad - especially the first few days. My plastic surgeon said the pain wasn't so much from the mastectomy, but the reconstruction process. I had my reconstruction started right away. As soon as the breast surgeon was done, the plastic surgeon came in to do his thing (put in expanders, etc). It was a very long surgery.

Is your girlfriend having reconstruction?

[longlivethe80s]

@ChaChingQueen yes...she is having reconstruction, but the doctors have recommended her to only do one side....and then do the other one. Surgery date is Monday.

[Roselvr1]

What you've done with these videos are awesome.. This is the 1st one I've watched; going to watch the rest. Hope you're doing well

~Hugs

[ChaChingQueen]

@Roselvr1 Thanks. That means a lot. I'm hoping to educate and help others going through this experience.

[suedeu02]

You are a darling posting these videos. I have a friend who is like my sister who is just about to start chemo for breast cancer. Watching your videos have really helped me with what she is to go through. Thank you so much.

[ChaChingQueen]

@suedeu02  great! I'm glad they helped

[hugsfromireland]

I love your honesty and bravery. Im only at the start of my breast cancer journey. Videos like yours show that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you xxx

[chrstphrharp1]

You are a beautiful human being

[queenbonnierella]

God bless you! You're so brave, inspirational, and beautiful!

[crazylikeamoose77]

my gf is having a duble mastectomy doing 6 rounds we are going for round 5 and they wont be removed till after words how long was you heal time. after the mastectomy she will have radiation .. she is a larger woman than you but the consept is the same im sure and the kimo is going well for her. its just its hard to find info on the net and asking is some times best.

[skatelegged]

Thanks for sharing the interesting descriptions of some of the challenges you face. My GF has "tatoo dots on the sides" similar to yours that were used for alignment of the radiation equipment.  Anyway, I wish you the very best of luck in your recovery. You are gorgeous! GET WELL !

[ChaChingQueen]
