Hi
so many questions so many decisions.......
i had a mastectomy in January -left side only ..... It's always the lft side (long story...which I might explain another day...let me just say this was my 14th surgery) the surgeon said that they often do reconstruction at the same time but in my case given grade 3 cancer which covered 45% of the breast he wanted to wait at least a year. I had 2 nodes removed and 1 was not quite clear hence the chemo (OMG- now that was an experience!)..... So now I'm starting to think about reconstruction - getting a new boobie. Do you get the other one done at the same time? To make sure they match, do I bother at all? Just keep the falsie? I'm 44, so thinking a new set might be good otherwise might end up with one perky and one saggy :) .... Would love to hear what others have decided to do.....
