@jenn66 sorry you are here but a big welcome. Its scary and overwhelming! Ive been on this road for 6 years 2011 and recurrence in 2015. Sounds like you have multi focal dcis being scattered? @nikkid can help with her experience in which she had to have a mastectomy.
Im not sure you could have a diep flap at same time as theyd need pathology? I had mastectomy and diep flap reconstruction in feb but that was a year post treatment.

I was lucky to have inbuilt income protection so has helped a lot. Hugs Melinda xo
