QUT research study – Share your thoughts about new breast reconstruction technologies

Hi @Lisa_BCNA, I just did the survey. I also didn't have a breast care nurse. It took my third occurence this year, 13yrs after my first BC before I saw one and then all she did was bring in bras and give me brochures after my surgery. Also another option for recommendations should have been 'wouldnt recommend to friend' which procedure. I was too frightened of reconstruction so didn't have it and wouldn't recommend something that crucial if I had not experienced it and wouldn't anyway. I would support friend to find out all info to come to own decision that was right for her. And I have concerns about the new procedure and the possibility of regenerating BC. Granted I don't know anything about it but that would be a major concern for me. @arpie  also think they are trying to assess risk taking - would you gamble on a potentially better outcome or play it safe. Such as would you go for a new reconstruction procedure or go with the tried and true. Without room for comments, these surveys only get part of the story and a very narrow profile of people and their info. I guess it's early days and they want a quick reference point but it's frustrating as a participant when you can't qualify an answer such as - I didn't have a BC nurse.
