It's back again :(((

Hi @"Hope 2013", sorry I am late to this post. I am glad you have joined choosing breast reconstruction. There are many posts to read through there but in particular the photo stories wil, be helpful for you. Just look for them in the announcement. Some of the ladies in there may have had the BRCA gene.  They might be good for you to connect with.  Yes some ladies have issues with implants, but there are many, many, many successful outcomes. It’s great to see the ladies helping you. I too had a recurrence and did go on and have a mastectomy. I didn’t however have the gene. You are so young and I understand you wanting to keep your other breast. It is certainly something for you to talk about with your medical team. I guess it is the risk stats etc you will need to help make your decision. If you do decide to keep your breast then it would be good to have a plan about how you will be monitored risk wise. It is such a tough thing for you to have to decide. 
Snding you hugs.
