Re: To reconstruct with mastectomy or wait
Hi @maddi - please join the Breast Reconstruction Group and the members there will be able to help you with your questions :). You should be able to have a skin sparing mastectomy at the time of the mastectomy to allow for reconstruction later. This may also involve insertion of a tissue expander but at least it then gives you time to decide on your options.32Views1like0Comments
