Decisions about Surgery
Hi - I'm facing a mastectomy following 6 months of chemo treatment and although treatment is now only weeks from finishing I'm still having trouble deciding on what type of reconstruction to have, if ...
@new_800 I actually had no idea of what reconstruction so I waited to see my Plastic Surgeon for his opinion. As I had a recurrence I was having a mastectomy and reconstruction, however I had no options but a Diep Flap as Id had radiation in 2011 and the skin was too damaged for an implant that he prefers diep flap in that situation. So I had that done in Feb of this year, as Nikki said if you join the Breast Reconstruction Group you'll have access to all sorts of photo stories for reconstructions. xx Melinda
