To reconstruct with mastectomy or wait
Hi, I'm a new member, diagnosed with High grade DCIS in the right breast. I'm a fairly big breasted woman and need to decide quite quickly to have one breast removed or both, as the left breast is ok ...
Hi @maddi - please join the Breast Reconstruction Group and the members there will be able to help you with your questions :).
You should be able to have a skin sparing mastectomy at the time of the mastectomy to allow for reconstruction later. This may also involve insertion of a tissue expander but at least it then gives you time to decide on your options.
