Doctor's appointments - go with your first instinct

I thought something wasn't right with the way my right tata was healing. Sure enough, I finally went to my surgical oncologist and he noted that something was questionable and I needed to consult my plastic surgeon. So, I went to see her, and was informed that the skin where my nipple was recreated had essentially died. I was a bit traumatized at first, but then came to the realization that things could be much worse. All I have to do is have another procedure once the scabbing falls off (in a few months). That's it! And, it's only local anesthesia.
I did learn something wonderful...........I never have to have scans again! Very exciting! Those of you that have been through these scans know what a relief this is.
Lesson learned...go with your first instinct. If you think something "isn't right" go to your doctor.
