If anyone is still reading this blog, I owe you an apology. I have been getting emails and comments that I have only now been able to approve. For the last 10 months I have been battling severe, debilitating clinical depression. Only now that I have gotten the proper treatment do I realize that I have had this issue since puberty.
I am doing much better and (fingers crossed) my mood seems to have evened out to the point that I am finally not staring listlessly at the wall and am actually able to function normally. Thank you modern medicine!
I’m sorry that I have neglected you all so badly and I promise that I will be much more prompt with comment approvals and replies.

Dear Maria
I still get all the posts by email and am indeed still following this as it is the only blog it seems where people can get support with breast necrosis. Mine is now a year and a half ago, and the boob is still healing and changing,
I have had problems replying to posts to offer women some hope about the healing and hope this one is succesful.
As I want to say that I am thinking of you, and that you are a very brave strong woman. I fully empathise with your battle against clinical depression. Keep going Maria, and if in turn you need to talk….we’re out here to listen
Huggggg

Hi again Maria, nice to see you back on the scene.
You have neglected exactly nobody. You don’t owe your readers anything at all, quite the reverse.

Maria: I just want to thank you for your brave web site, it has helped me through 14 months of recovery from breast necrosis, which is still ongoing. I certainly can understand your depression after all you have been through, but urge you to continue the blog. It was the only site where I found support and reassurance that it will get better.
Bless you, DL
