I am Joanna and I am 46 years old, with two wonderful children 20 and 23, and thankfully a fantastic husband who has been through every step with me.
I have had three previous lumpectomy since I was 31 for ductal papiloma.on both breasts. Today I had my 4th as I stop gap solution as my specialist has recommended a mastectomy and an immediate reconstruction. The plastic surgeon wants to do a latissmus dorsi reconstruction. I have already major problems with my back with a disc bulge at L4L5 and a scoliosis with a nerve impact at C5. My physio believes that by cutting and moving this muscle will cause a huge increase in pain and restrict movement and lead to loss of muscle strength. Has anyone had these issues following this kind of reconstructio? and are there other options out there for me. I have made a some more appointments with plastic surgeons for second opinions as this needs to be the right choice,
