Hi Chris, thank you for reading my story - I appreciate you telling your story with the tissue expanders and glad you had such a positive result in the end. As this was all rushed the week before Christmas my breast surgeon had a hard time finding a plastic surgeon willing to operate. I feel he was really rushed and not that interested so therefore only I found the true story re: the tissue expanders a few weeks after they were in. And the worse thing is that now I'm having chemo they can't be replaced with the permanent impants in 3 months I have to wait until at least 6 weeks after the chemo finishes. I am hoping that in the years to come they will discover something far less barbaric than what we have now! Thanks again, Sandra xx
