DIEP FLAP PHASE 2 REVISION SURGERY & RECOVERY PROCEDURE For Breast Cancer

At 35 years old I was shocked by my diagnosis of Invasive Lobular Carcinoma. In a matter of weeks my life flipped upside down and I was on my way to a double mastectomy. Chemo and radiation then I had my Diep flap phase 1 this is my phase 2 Journey.

You are so welcome!!!

I’ve watched all of your journey videos and I have to say you are a true inspiration. I’ve watched all the vids in one day because my daughter has found a breast lump which will be biopsied next month - June 2024 - and just in case it is cancer I’m trying to find out as much as I can for her. She also has three little boys. God bless you and have a great post cancer life. ❤ You look fabulous bye the way. 😍

[@MarissaJonasson]

Thank you so much!!! I wish your daughter so much love and health as well as strength. Those little boys will be a source of strength! Well wishes!

Congratulations Marissa. I had my DIEP Flap 4 months ago and now preparing for Phase 2. Thank you for sharing your story!

[@MarissaJonasson]

Good luck! I found it to be so easy! I’m glad you found it useful

I am SO glad you made this series. I'm at the beginning of my ILC journey. My DMx is on Feb 7. It will be a Goldilocks mastectomy with DIEP in 3-6 mths if no chemo or radiation are needed (fingers crossed for clear nodes and pathology finds nothing hiding!). I was glad to hear your honest discussion of your DIEP process. I had lumbar fusion surgery 2 years ago and had the same thing happen with that incision site. Because I am a hefty girl and the original sutures just weren't strong enough. Had to have a revision to clean out necrosing tissue a month after that original surgery. Your experience gives me pause on doing the DIEP. If I have a decent breast shape with Goldilocks I may forgo the reconstruction. I'm glad you are on the other side and ready to enjoy life with your sweet family.

[@MarissaJonasson]

it's a personal choice and it's something that nobody can decide but you! whatever you choose will be right for you and I support that! i'm glad you found it useful

Thank you for sharing, I truly can't find any 2024 updates on a breast cancer journey. I pray you are doing well.

[@MarissaJonasson]

Thank you so much!

[@mikaablimit4485]

You look fabulous,❤

[@MarissaJonasson]

Thank you so much

[@floridagirl3400]

I just got diagnosed with lobular breast cancer. I’m 74. Just starting my journey. 😢

[@MarissaJonasson]

I really do hope and pray for health and healing

[@msharris4348]

I appreciate your videos... They helped me through a lot. Had my surgery (lumpectomy with bilateral reduction). Didn't have much pain the first couple weeks (which was weird), but I did start having tightness and some pain several weeks after. I will suggest that you check out the benefits of using castor oil (externally) for aches/pains and skin healing...Good luck with everything 🙏🙂

[@MarissaJonasson]

Thank you!! I’ll look into this!

[@nancyguzzetta2637]

Thank you for this. I'm getting the deip flap in the fall, just the one breast that had mastectomy and breast lift on the other and I'm not sure if I want to go through so much pain but you r doing it so maybe I can too! ❤

[@MarissaJonasson]

You totally could and it’s so worth whatever pain I had in my opinion! You have to go with your gut I wish you so much luck!

[@avondaharris2479]

Hi, if you don’t mind me asking what’s the reason for a phase two surgery? I had a mastectomy ( left breast) in 2023 and just had my diep flap February 2024. Just had my third drain removed this past Thursday. Yayyyy Still healing everyday…

[@MarissaJonasson]

Many time you need a small procedure just to fix the way the scar falls and these little love handle toe bumps that can occur
