Breast Expanders...What are They and How Do They Work?
 |
| Breast Tissue Expander |
When the tissue expanders are first positioned on the chest wall, they are partially filled with saline. A few weeks after surgery, the expansion or "fill'er ups" (as I called them) are started. As you can see in the picture above, the expanders have a fill port that is built into the front. They are filled every week or two until you get to the desired size you would like.
I had five fill'er up appointments with one of my favorite nurses, Sharon. First she uses this tool in the top left picture that has a magnet 
to find the exact location of the port and marks my skin with an "x." She then accesses this port with a needle through the skin and adds saline from those huge syringes in the bottom picture to the left. A typical fill is about 50 cc's of saline (an equivalent of 10 teaspoons), but is limited by the tightness of the skin.
I would not describe the fill'er ups as painful, but there is a sensation of stretching and pressure during this procedure. Most women find this is not too uncomfortable. Usually the following two days involve some discomfort with pressure or muscle soreness, nothing a little Advil won't help.
The expanders do feel weird. They make you feel a little freakish and are slightly uncomfortable at times, so keeping a sense of humor is essential. They are heavy, hard, and have a bumpy strange shape to them. I often joke that I feel like I actually have two stones in there! You learn to joke about having titanium boobs, cute cups, Barbie boobs, perky ta-tas…really the jokes can be endless. But the reality is that having breast expanders is difficult. Not only is it hard on your body, but it’s also hard on your mind, spirit, and sexuality. You've lost nerve endings in a large portion of your body. I deliberated on whether to add this, but really, it is too funny not to add. You have heard of phantom limbs, which are sensations felt even though a limb has been removed. Well for the first couple of months, let's just say I could tell when it was cold! Talk about strange!!

Once upon a time, I said that if I ever had the money and a chance to have any plastic surgery, my wish would be to get a breast lift. Well I am getting a little more than a lift, and not in a way any of us would choose. Although it is a silver lining...I guess we should be careful what we wish for. ;)
Thank you Sharon for being such a great nurse, and your encouragement to write this blog.
Our new friendship means the world to me.
Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Brain Tumor,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
