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 -
