Hi my names Katherine.

Im getting rather anxious as I am only finding negative feedback/reviews of this type of reconstruction.
Im looking for some positive experiences if anyone has then them to share please
Hi 123Katherine
i am one of the community champions on the breast cancer forums. I don’t have the experience you are looking for but suggest you post your question on our main Breast cancer forum as that’s where you are more likely to find others who have had this surgery.
