Hi again, Thanks for all your info. The only surgeon i have seen told me i had enought stomach fat to reconstruct both my breasts (i knew that) my husband was surprised the surgeon didn't get a black eye :) I am waiting to see the PS on the 8th Jan so i will talk to her about the DIEP and free Tram Flap. I really don't want the TRAM Flap if they are going to use my 6 pack ( i don't have a 6 pack but maybe one day..............)
That was another question i wanted to ask - about using the existing breast tissue - i was under the assumption that the breast is reconstucted through the nipple. I know i was told that they couldn't use the nipples because they are attached to the ducts.
Chemo hasn't been mentioned to me at all - i suppose that would be considered if they find anything in my lymph nodes but they said they are not expecting to.
Let us know how you get on tomorrow.
Sue.
