Rather sad poor girl

[MaryPoppins]

Only boobies innit!

You sound worse than Manto Tshabalala-Msimang

Ah, her from the Southern African Beetroot Marketing Board. Which idiot signed her timesheet?

Given her presumed wealth, I wonder whether the operation could have been carried out by cutting out the innards of the breasts and leaving the skin + nippes intact. Then they could stuff silicone in place of the removed breast material, and nobody would be any the wiser.

I guess the problem would be in getting a continuous blood supply to that skin. Or that the breast cancer could possibly start in the breast skin.

Still it is sad news that she has had to have it.

You really are sad. But again, someone who bonks their cleaner, I didnt expect much from you.

That's like saying that you have an 87% chance of getting hit by a bus, but 'might' not be killed by it. If there was a chance to avoid that, you'd probably take it.

Sadly.

I've been recommended to have this test this year, and if I have the gene I would do the same as AJ and lots of other women. I don't want to go through what other women in my family have.

Sorry to hear that.

I'll keep my fingers crossed you don't have the gene.

I was thinking that there would be little point in having the test if you weren't going to act on the information it gave you, but I guess it could be that it puts your mind at rest and stops you worrying about it.
My mum had a congenital heart defect that can cause premature valve failure - I decided I'd rather not know, but changed my mind last year and had a scan - it was all clear Fingers crossed yours will be good news.

Agreed, but I'd definitely act on it. I was offered the test before I had my son and opted not to have it; I feel differently now for obvious reasons. I'm constantly paranoid I'm going to die and leave my son a [kind of] orphan!

Good news your scan was clear!

Well good luck MP.

Well have you got any better ideas?
(about the breast cancer thing, not the bonking of the cleaner)

She did the right thing, based on the probabilities, and it's good she wrote about it, she could have easily done it without anyone knowing.
