The Expanders: Starring Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham

I had 2 plastic surgery consults this week. They both told me pretty much the same thing. Since I had radiation, I will need expanders. The skin is compromised and weak so they can't just shove implants in there right off the bat. They need to stretch the skin slowly. I'm bummed but it is what it is and I rather do it safely. The good thing about expanders is I can choose my size. I do not have a surgery date yet. I need to choose a doctor and then I will go from there. After my appt yesterday I had a breakdown because it was a lot of information and very overwhelming. The doctor today made me feel better about it. The good news is Thursday is my last chemo. I am trying to take it one day at a time and focus on one ridiculous thing instead of 800.  Oh and I cried at the end of Bachelor in Paradise last night, so there's that.
