Recon advice

Less than one minute read time.
I'm a new member - just registered. I had a double mastectomy May 28, 2008. I did not get reconstruction at the time of my surgery. My surgeon recommended I wait until after chemotherapy treatment. I completed my last taxol treatment Nov 29. Am now thinking of reconstruction. I am only 39 - am very self concious about how I look in the mirror. I don't like it much! I have applied for financial assistance through a non-profit organization as I do not have any health insurance to pay for this. They want me to go see a surgeon and get a "written estimate" before they tell me how much they can assist me with(hopefully 100%). I don't know much about cost - if anyone can give me a clue??? or about the different types of reconstruction choices??? I keep saying prayers and keeping my fingers crossed that I can go for surgery as soon as possible!
