Nipple Reconstruction
Hi I am due to have my nipple done in St Vincent's hopsital in the near future. I received a letter from the consultant's Registrar asking that I mark the night before where I want the nipple to be placed, this was his protocol, and they would discuss it with me on the morning of the procedure. I find this to be quite a bizarre request and not very helpful, on the part of the consultant and his Registrar. Has anyone else encountered this in St Vincent's or anywhere else for that matter. I am very tempted not to mark the spot as a form of protest.

Jee, that sounds a small bit like pin the tail on the donkey! Shur they are the professionals! For the craic of it you should mark a big spot on your belly .....
Hi, thanks for replies. I would love to have the balls to mark the centre of my forehead, but I'm afraid they will get snitty with me. I got same reaction from friends and family but wanted to see if anyone has actually been in same position and what did they do. I think I am going to ingnore the request and if they say anything, tell them I am suffering from cognitive impairement from the Tamoxfin (listed side effect). Many thanks. Mimi
