Genetic Testing

My genetic testing came back negative which is good news, since that would have meant they would have recommended taking both breasts in a double mastectomy.  So it's just a single mastectomy with reconstruction.  On Jan 31st they will take my right breast, check the lymph nodes and do a reduction and lift to my left breast.  They will put a tissue expander in my right breast which they will fill with saline to stretch the skin.  I will be a human balloon!!   Should be about a 5-6 hour surgery and will probably have to stay overnight.  Then we will let the healing begin!
