breast reconstruction personal experiences

Hi,

I'm 37 and have had a lumpectomy and now need to have a masectomy and reconstruction as my margins weren't clear.  I have also learned that my cancer is hormone +, the Dr's seem to think this is a good thing.  All I can work out is that it means I will have to go through early menopause and take loads of drugs for years - both options seem awful.  Has anyone else got experience of ovary ablation / early…

Hi,

I found a lump 8 weeks ago, I have had a lumpectomy and the margins are not clear.  I have opted for a masectomy and reconstruction - can anyone give me some personal experience stories of this operation.  I'm 37 years old and just feel I have been given loads of information from Dr's but very little advice regarding reconstruction??..

Thanks, Sue
