Masectomy

Sue,

I had the latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction so used tissue from my back with an implant. Recovery has been surprisely good and just get stiff in my back if I haven't done stretching. I did this so that I could match my breasts but now that I am having the other one done, I am unsure about whether I will bother this time. Will wait and see what the plastic surgeon recommends.

I am in Sydney and very near the hospital which made it all much easier. My plastic surgeon was great and I felt really comfortable with him - very important as it is so personal.

If you do travel, I would recommend going somewhere where you have support as it is important in those early days after the surgery. If you come to Sydney, let me know.
