I saw my oncologist today for my 6 month follow-up

35. I now have a date for my breast implant

Doctor gave me the final fill on my expander. I now have 350cc of saline in there, and it's no fun at all!
The real implant will be smaller and much more comfortable, and in the right place (the expander is somewhat over to the side).
He says that I'll be best off with a saline implant rather than silicone, as there will be much less chance of scar tissue forming around it, an issue because of my radiation history. He will also do a small tuck on my other breast, to perk it up a bit, so that I'll look more symmetrical.
We'll go for the surgery in December...I have company coming for Thanksgiving and I will need to be pretty active for that, so better to wait until nothing's going on around here.
And after THAT, we go about recreating the center features!
