I chose a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction from the beginning and I am happy that I did. I had a tissue expander implant but would have liked a diep flap but my surgeon was very concerned in any delay and in the end I went with his advise and happy with this choice.

I am sorry you have to go through this again. We are here to listen.
