Hi all,
I had a single mastectomy in 17th Feb just gone. When i went back fir the results two weeks later it was discovered that the wound hadn't healed and that I have some necrosis, gangrene.
Has anybidy else had this complication when having reconstruction?
I have to have surgery repeated this tuesday, different implanr unless i decide against it which I might.
Its very depressing. All lymph nodes to be taken out too as four were found to be cancerous.
