Thanks @Olivegreen. Are you having a single or bilateral Mastectomy with the DIEP?
I need to have closure of a hole in my heart (due to causing a stroke in Feb. I'm booked for the cardiac surgery 9th Oct in Adelaide) before I can undergo any lengthy operations so I am up in the air a bit. I feel like I've be kicked around the park physically and mentally after having 3 (failed) wide local excisions. I've started exercising more to try and get mentally and physically prepared for what is yet to come.
All the best for Thursday X
