@sandyb I had to wait 2 years to have a left LD reconstruction with a small implant. I am really happy with the results, but the surgery was very painful. I now have an implant in my body that has been recalled and live with one more risk factor that was unnecessary given that doctors have known about this risk for ages. There is also a level of discomfort that I didn’t have with the mastectomy scar. If i had the chance again, even with all of these problems, i would have the surgery. I feel better mentally with reconstruction, but it was a long haul and with ongoing surgery in the future this is a hassle. All the best with your decision. No post cancer decisions are easy, are they?
