She'll be okay when she becomes used to the way she looks.  Definitely don't say anything.  She needs to have privacy, and thinking that other people are talking about her breasts will make her even more aware that she's "different".\nYour friend just needs to downplay the significance of her breasts.  She'll accept things in her own time

It's actually a common problem for anyone who has had a dramatic weight loss. The part your doc went wrong was not making you aware of this in the beginning. My sister went in for gastric bypass surgery, and the first thing they told her about was the excess skin. She's currently saving up for cosmetic surgery. I had the same problem after I had my second son. My chest was 32c before I had my son, and by the time that he was born they were a 42DD. After I stopped producing milk, they shrunk back to their old size only they hung like two water balloons in tube socks lol. I did have surgery done to bring them back up. It took me a year to save up the money for the surgery. But I couldn't be happier. So try throwing all your extra change in a coffee can, cut out the unnecessary things in your life (like I cut out my Starbucks coffee and cigarettes) and put that money in the can. Before you know it you'll have the money to get it done.

Not for awhile.... be careful, I ended up having 3 breast surgeries due to complications.... I was lifting box's and 1 popped, another shifted under my arm , and another got a hole in it... it was an awful experience so just be careful...

My brother had the same problem when he was 10, also my sister when she was 3 years old, that happen in Guatemala, and in the 80's.  I think after 20 years the technology have most knowledge, but even at that time and in a country with bad medical resources in that time, my sister and brother did really good.  My sister now is mother of 3, my brother unfortunately past away but was in a fire (he was firefighter and he die in a call trying to rescue 2 kids, nothing related with the cyst).  Just relax, there is some medicine to treat her and there is not surgery needed.

The best thing she can do is regular medical check-ups and mammograms, as well as monthly self exams.  What you can do is be supportive and nag her to have the above done if she doesn't do it.  It has been proven that the sooner a problem has been found, the better the chances of curing it.\nWish her luck for me!

It is very difficult to say without more specific information. Often surgery can remove all the cancer and future treatment often relates to level of the thyroid hormones which are reduced due to the thyroid having been removed. \nYour friends post operative appointment would discuss all of this with her. She will also have had tests to see if the cancer had spread.\nBy the sound of things her optimistic outlook may have came from her follow up appointment. \nMaybe you should discuss your concerns with her. This may reassure you. Best wishes to you both.

It is very difficult surgery.  The only person I knew personally who had it died a few years after the surgery.

If your friend's wife was operated on before he married her and he knew about it and married her anyway, then your friend is being a complete JERK and he never really loved her anyway. \n\nIf he was deceived in this matter, then okay, I understand. \n\nTo answer your question, in this day and age anyone can get divorced for any reason.

i had a breast reduction, in may of 2006, i was  46DD, no bra in the world would have made a difference! if they hurt they hurt! nothign cna ease that pain, except for a reduction! or a lift! when i woke up from surgery, i had absolutly no pain at all!!! they had me hooked up to this self serving medicine machine! wher eu press the button when YOU need it! i was in the hospital over nihgt, i had the surgery at 8am,, was done by Noon, so form noon til about noon the next day i only used the medicin once for pain, and it wasnt even that much pain... the recovery is a little bit difficult, she may need help for a week or 2, me, i was able to take care of my kids (3yrs and 1yr) at the 2 week point. they were still  sensative, but wasnt painful, the most uncomfortable time duration is the first 2 weeks, u have to walk slow, so they dont bounce, or move, u cant really shower, (sponge bathe), u cant lift ur arms an higher than ur breast,... but thats all worth it if ur in alot of pain!!!  no exercise can help with this situation of relieving back pain caused by breast! im asumming she is a small girl cuz a D cup isnt that bad, unless they are saggy. i am a D now, but im a bit of a big girl so its good for me!  u have nothing to worry about, let ur friend do this for her! she will be a better person inside and she will have alot of self confidence ( whether or not she has some now) i go the surgery done for health reason and came out feeling soooo much better abou tmy self, i never thought was possible! i couldnt be happier, it change my whole outlook on myself... \n\n\ngive ur friend all the support in the world1 she is goin to need you when she does this! good luck to her!

My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1990.  She battled it, and won.  She had lymph nodes removed as well as a total masectomy.  Along with 6 months of chemo.  Unfortch her cancer recurred in 1998.  This time in her bones.  She battled bravely again, with weekly chemo for 5 solid years.  Eventually it spread to her brain and she had radiation.  She had(yes, I am sorry 'had')a great life from her initial battle in 1990 until cancer finally took her from us in 2003.  She saw both her daughters marry and met one grandson.  She and my dad traveled and were together.  Just give her the best you can.  Be there for her, talk to her.  I know it hurts, believe me, I know.  My mom was only 53 when she passed.  I believe she always handled it better than we did.  I never once saw her be scared.  I wish you and your friend all the best.  Good luck!

Mine was not, but I have a friend who's' daughter was.  They said it happened because she had her carpet shampooed when she was a new born?  Then she had to have heart surgery.  Very scary.  But she is now 15 years old and doing fine!  No problems.

The only thing that you can do for your friend right now is to pray.  She needs all the prayers that she can get no matter what type of cancer she has.  By going "crazy", you would not be helping her nor would you be a very good friend to her.  Most cancer patients don't like to be treated differently so treat her the same way you always have.  No, she may not be able to do the things she once could so you change the way some things are done.  People survive cancer all the time; the doctors telling her she has cancer is not an automatic death certificate.  PRAY FOR HER TO BE HEALED, PRAY THAT GOD WILL HELP YOU TO BE A BETTER FRIEND AND GUIDE TO HER DURING THIS TIME, PRAY THAT THE TWO OF YOU WILL OVERCOME THIS TOGETHER!!!  Gather several friends to pray with you because God really answers prayer when more than one gather in his name.

I can totally relate. My wife went through breast cancer surgery and then chemo last year. So far so good - but the stress never stops. It's tough being a caregiver and I can relate to your feeling tired and dragged out.\n\nHang in there.
