Hi @Helen22,
Sorry you are going through this again. It is probably just as much to deal with given the years that have passed since the first diagnosis. It would be overwhelming. As you know once things get moving, there is a plan and things settle a bit. Any surgery is daunting but we are all here.
I havent had diep surgery but ive had a mastectomy so I can understand that part. I think it can be confronting but it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be.
There are quite a few ladies who have had immediate reconstruction diep so they would be able to answer any questions.
Hugs to you x
