How long between mastectomy and reconstruction
Hi, new to this online group and after some advice please. I was diagnosed with stage 2 IDC HER 2 positive. End of March this year. Have just finished 4 th round of AC dense chemo and start paclitaxel...
Hi @Halza, the girls have given you great advise that I don’t need to repeat. In our choosing breast recon group we have members who have had all sorts of time frames for various reasons. Some have immediate, some delayed, for various reasons. Radiation is sometimes a game changer as some have stated due to skin damage, but getting an expander put in at the time of surgery whilst you decide what you want can also be an option. Most delays are to do with the public system and what category you are rated at. If you decide to join the group and have any trouble please let me know as there has been a bit of a glitch in the last week.
