Hi @Caz1,
Sorry to hear all those dramas. Glad you are ultimately happy though.
When i had my mastectomy my surgeon didnt do immediate reconstruction. He said hed refer me after treatment to a plastic surgeon. Because it all happened so fast i really had no comprehension of what reconstruction was like, how it was done.
I have an appendix scar 2 caesarian scars, a port scar and a mastectomy. I dont want any more or to spend months recovering. That is my choice. I had skin left to ensure it might be "easier" but unless they can fill easily im not going to put myself through it. Im told i can have skin removed in a day surgery with little recovery time at about xmas (when radiated skin has settled down).
My choice isnt for everyone and people need to choose what is best for them.
