Hi Kel, I'm so sorry that you have found this site distressing. I have been a bit addicted to this site for about 8 months now, and have found it a very useful tool in helping me to decide on what sort of reconstruction to have. I don't think I have come across the one that has scared you so much. I have just successfully completed a delayed and immediate reconstruction using tissue expanders and silicone implants. I had my first matectomy in December 2010, followed by chemo and then a precautionary mastectomy with the insertion of bilateral tissue expanders in September last, and on last Wednesday I had the silicone implanted. I have found that there is usually someone on this site who has been there and done that first. Please give it another go, as it is unfortunate if we have only managed to scare you and not support you. There is a young womens arm of this site that might suit you better. I wish you all the best with your reconstruction. Love Chris xx
