Hi Georgia - welcome aboard - you have had a busy time - but you have come to a great place. Hopefully you are healing well and taking things slowly - there always seems to be many decisions to make.
Did you get a copy of your pathology report and do you know your hormone status?
There are so many factors to consider and we need to be guided by our health care professionals in many cases.
Often we come away from appointments and as we absorb information we have more questions- some useful approaches to manage the information and answers we need include-
taking someone to appointments with us, having a notebook to write a list of questions to ask (and write down information), making contact with a breast care nurse to help with explanations or additional information.
There is also a group on this site - Breast Reconstruction Online Group that you may wish to join for more specific reconstruction information.
make sure you ask lots of questions so that you understand your treatment and options and be guided by your medical team.
We are here for practical advice and support along the way - all the best for your recovery.
