Patient Request
Can one demand a reconstruction, even if surgeon does not recommend it? Should I get a 2nd opinion or see a plastic surgeon? My time to Decide is running out.
Forum Discussion
A lot of questions there! Why does your surgeon not recommend reconstruction? Ever or not right now? What kind of reconstruction? Are you likely to have radiation which might suggest you wait and have reconstruction after radiation is finished? Demand is rarely a good foot to start on. Understanding why your surgeon is not recommending reconstruction right now is key to any other action.
