Bilateral Reconstruction
Am due to have Bilateral reconstruction later this year. Originally thought I would have Lat Dorsi Procedure but Surgeon reccommended Free Tram Flap, probably due to my "chemo belly".
Not too excit...

Hi
A really good friend of mine who is in her late 50's had a bilateral TRAM flap done on Dec 1st. She is 5 years cancer free and decided now was the time to do it. She has recovered so well and just 7 weeks later is Dragon Boat paddling with us and looking forward to compete in our upcoming regattas! She was very fit before hand for her age and I believe that had a lot to do with it. She is also a very determined person and so her recovery was always going to be positive. She is so happy with her new breasts and has been showing them off to anyone who wants to look- lol. They do look really good. She has her appendix scar on her left breast now! Having seen her experience has spurred me on to do something about my reconstruction i was always against it but now I am seriously wanting it done.
So good luck with it all.
