Should I have a reconstruction?
Posted on behalf of @Goodhealthagain
Hello Everyone
Well, finally coming to the decision which has weighed heavily since my mastectomy back in 2016 is, should I have a reconstruction ?
I'm nearly there with my decision to go ahead and have the surgery, perhaps a TRAM free flap or DIEP flap. As these are the only options for me.
Getting a couple of opinions from micro surgeons at present, so that I can be fully informed as to all that goes with this massive decision.
So much to think about and would welcome any thoughts from your experiences and any questions that I should be asking the surgeons when I see them.
I would be very grateful for your comments.
Looking to getting back and feeling -
