I only had a mastectomy and axillery slearance and are still waiting for reconstruction. I couldnt have it all done together as I had to have radiotherapy as well as the chemo and they advised me that the treatments could likely bugger an implant. My sister in law had it all done together including an inplant and 12 months down the track she had to have more surgery to remove the damaged implant. She now goes without and wears a prosthesis like I do. Everyone is different, just remember to take what support you are offered. You dont have to do this all on your own, we are here for you.
