You’re right this is not fair.
I hope you do take action against that surgeon, but right now I really want you to take it an hour at a time. Get through this. Get strong. There will be options for reconstructive surgery if it comes to that. I am rooting for you.
I'm so glad you got this looked at and are getting the care you need. I'm sorry it had to get this bad because your surgeon didn't take it seriously.
P.S. I'm not a doctor but I don't think your mom is either unless I missed something. She might be catastrophizing a little bit and you should probably take her words with several grains of salt. I feel like she shouldn't have said something like that to you while you're in such a vulnerable state but I'm guessing she's scared as well 🫤
I hope everything goes as well as it can and you're on the way to recovery soon. 💜
I'm so glad you got seen and by someone who was able stand up for you. It's awful that it took this to make your surgeon pay attention. I really hope they can sort things out for you.
If you haven’t already please name and shame your surgeon. So sorry you’re dealing with this and I hope it gets resolved now that you are in the hands of better professionals
seconding this! NAME AND SHAME! you could actually have died!!!
So glad you went to see a specialist! I hope all goes well and I hope your second surgery is not done by your original doctor as I would be so on edge.
Please take action against the surgeon, report to the board, they absolutely neglected your concerns and should be held accountable. Best wishes and I hope your recovery goes much smoother now that you’ve got an advocate!
Checking this thread every day for an update. I hope you’re ok OP.
I’d like to know why that dr didn’t send you straight to the hospital for antibiotics after giving you the diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis. That’s a serious infection and you should not have been sent home
THIS!!! IV antibiotics and surgery are the only real treatments. Should have admitted or sent her to ER ASAP for culture and sensitivity.
Are you doing okay?
Came here to ask that too
Are you feeling better?
I hope you’re doing alright OP. Update us if and when you can ❤️
Holy shit. Sending so many good thoughts your way. I’m so sorry you’re doing through this.
You are absolutely right that this is not fair and it wasn’t supposed to happen this way!
I’m so glad you saw a specialist and it is being taken seriously right now. You are going to be taken care of with a lot of doctors watching over everything now.
And we are all here for you! My best to you!!
I am so glad you took action and went to see them! We’re thinking of you! Try and stay calm while you wait for more definitive news from your doctors.
Hang in there! Don't just to conclusions about what might happen - modern antibiotics are a marvel! Hopefully they can identify the area of infection internally and get it cleaned up and you'll be back on the road to recovery on no time! Document everything and keep up updated ❤️. Sending you happy healing vibes!
This is absolutely not fair. I hope you are able to heal and become healthy again quickly. I am so sorry you were dismissed, and I hope your surgeon has good insurance. This reeks of malpractice. However, positive and healing energy for you right now. I am so sorry you have to go through this.
OP I hope you're doing okay. This is so, so awful & you should never have had to go through this nightmare. I hope you're getting the care you need & that everyone is rallying around you right now.
Oh friend, I hope you are okay. Seeing your edit has me so worried for you!! :(
Please sue the absolute living fuck out of your original surgeon!! What an absolute asshole.
Hi OP, just dropping by to say you’ve been in my thoughts and I hope you’re doing ok.
Hi! Wondering if you had any update? I’m hoping the right specialist were able to help you!
My thoughts are with you 💜
Sending positive thoughts and healing vibes your way.
Sending you healing hugs! I’m so glad someone is taking this seriously and helping you as you deserve.
This is an absolute nightmare. Please keep us updated so we know how you’re doing.
I am so so sorry that this is happening to you. I am so angry for you that your surgeon has been so negligent and dismissive. I hope everything works out well and you can move on to healing. Sending hugs and good vibes for healing hands and competent doctors to help you.
💜
Are you okay??? been thinking about you
I’m so sorry this happened and I hope you’re getting the care you deserve rn
Good luck. I know it’s scary. And losing your breasts entirely is terrifying. But you can’t plan for that. One step at a time. Your health is first. Then your appearance. And in the end, hopefully something good happens from this.
So glad you have done an awesome job at advocating for yourself
I’m so sorry your surgeon is such a supreme dmbas* OP. I’m so glad you decided to see a wound care specialist and are getting help, please let us know how you are doing now. Sending you healing vibes 💐

They absolutely shouldn’t have blown you off after the pictures you sent them. Good for you for advocating for yourself and getting a second opinion!
I hope that in a year or so you look back on this as an awful side adventure, and that you heal into the body you want and deserve.
