    Hi @socoda
    Thank you very much, Cath.  My breast surgeon does not do reconstruction and I would have to travel to Melbourne for surgery.  At the moment this is not possible so I am still considering the options.  My first preference would be DIEP but whether this is worth it for an ''oldie'' and whether I can get hubby taken care of for that length of time are all considerations as well as the cost.
    I really appreciate your best wishes.

    Lovely @Summerhill38, heard the term "an oldie but a goodie", YOU ARE most definitely worth it, particularly if it makes you feel better about yourself. The rest of it will fall into line (enlist breast care nurses assistance and cancer council and use their contacts etc ) should you decide to go ahead. Xx
