RE: Re:Was: I can't stand it ! Now questions

[Guest guest]

Thanks Iggy ( love that name), you and others here are helping me more and

more to nOT opt for any replacement implants. I want ME back, just like you.

I'm praying for you girl, that you will get your health back once you've had

your op. The prosthesis I meant was some sort of pad or bra to wear once my

implants are out, to look normal under clothes ISO like I would after a

mastectomy. I am mentally preparing myself as much as possible to deal with

my altered body image, if such a thing ispossible...

Hugs,

Fiona
