I am a 30 year old mother of 2 beautiful boys. I found out I had a BRCA 2 mutation July 2012. This blog is my journey through my decisions and prophylactic mastectomy

Follow up
Well I had my follow up with Dr. Connor (Breast Surgeon) and Dr. Ponnuru (Plastic Surgeon). First off.... My pathology report is negative!!!! I now have less than 3% lifetime risk of breast cancer. (much better than my previous 80-85% risk!) I am healing well. I still have more drainage than what we would like. So I still have my drains. Dr. Ponnuru reminded me that I am to be recovering during my recovery!!!! That means do absolutely nothing. That sounds like an easy job with a 2 and 4y/o. huh. I have gone the last couple of days without needing any narcotics for pain, except right before bedtime. That is a huge step. It has also helped my nausea tremendously! I am feeling pretty good today, although being in the car for 2 hours (one way) did make my stomach turn some. I am not too bad now. I guess I am not real talkative right now. Maybe time for a nap. I have another follow up with the plastic surgeon on February 26th. Hopefully my drains will be removed then!!!
