Newly Diagnosed

Hi @shann, just thought I'd also let you know about immediate reconstruction. I had a single nipple and skin sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using silicon implant. I had a tumor to the left side of my breast and was able to have the skin saved. I asked for immediate reconstruction as I wanted to limit surgery and it was a good opportunity. My surgeon is an oncoplastic surgeon which means she is a one stop shop for general surgery and some types of plastic surgery. I am very happy with the result and because cancer was grade 1, with no lymph node involvement and because I mastectomy  I also didn't have chemo or radiotherapy. Wishing you all the best and if you have any questions happy to answer them. Xx Cath
