At the age of 15, I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor, and all of my female glands were affected. Consequently, I never had normal sized breasts; they were equivalent to an A cup. At the age of 38, I decided to reward myself with breast enlargement since I received my Masters, but more so because of the fact that my 11 year old daughter's breast were larger than mine. I had my surgery in March 2006, and I expected to leave the doctor's office with the perfect breast. Instead I left in incredible pain; I knew there would be some pain associated with the surgery, but I didn't expect the excruciating pain that I experienced. It has almost been one month, and my breast are starting to look great. They still haven't dropped into place like they're going to, but I will be so glad when they do. Because they're looking so well, I often say the pain was worth it!
