Chrissy, youre absolutely right, if you dont need to do anythng immediately, time to decide is good. I took 14 months once Id finished treatment to get my head around the surgery, it was preventative. I also had no choices as this was a recurrence, so I couldnt do expanders or implants due to having had radiation in 2011.
