Welcome to the group, @Trina1970 ... it's great that you've found us - I haven't had a mastectomy/major reconstruction (tho my surgeon did a mini one at the time of surgery - just shifting some fat around!)
Feel free to jump onto this link, to read up on some other areas in the forum that you may be interested in. We do 'off topic' subjects, like art & craft, hobbies, gardens and 'funnies' ('cos we all need a laugh now & then!) Whack up any questions that you have in mind .... and all the best with your ongoing surgeon appointments xx
https://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/discussion/23477/a-big-welcome-to-all-new-online-network-members#latestWith your Wide local excision - how much breast is remaining? ... Was much of the breast removed, or just the cancerous bit? Did you have reconstruction on that breast? Is that the breast that you are considering removing?
Consider joining our 2 x private groups - one for reconstruction & the other for choosing to remain flat - so you get both sides of the argument xx
