@JayMB Im so sorry to hear of your whirlwind few months. Its an awful lot to take in.
I had a single mastectomy diep flap recon in 2017 and its been great! the only thing I often think of now is Im too large, so that would be the only reason I wouldve chosen to have done a double. Otherwise my right breast is absolutely fine.
Ive been on this road since 2011, so happy to answer absolutely any question you may have :) I had it all done in the public system in Melbourne. I do have private health cover, however my Surgeon said he also worked in public together with the plastic surgeon and said it would save me alot of out of pocket.
Don't hesitate to ask anything. Hugs M x
