Great you are doing so well with your treatment.
Just food for thought. I had a mastectomy and DIEP reconstruction with no radiotherapy. Cancer did return in the skin of the reconstruction 6 years later. (Very low risk apparently).

You just have to weigh up what is best for you and be guided by doctors advice.
Best wishes with your continued healing.
