Hi everyone 

I was just wondering how some of you might have got on with mastectomy and reconstruction. I have had 5 of my 6  rounds of chemo ,thankfully they are happy with my progress but I still have some of the tumor left I’m told I will need a full mastectomy which I’m fine with (if I can just get rid of this ) I also need radiotherapy after , I had really hoped that I could have reconstruction surgery on the same day but my team do not seem very keen . I just like to know what others have experienced and how it worked for them  . Am I expecting too much . Looking forward to hearing for you all

    Obviously we’re given choice, go w/o, have recon or body part recon which takes muscle from stomach. V long operation. I chose to stay flat but have a fab prosthesis and various mastectomy bras. It’s possible they would rather you leave it for a while until completely clear? Xx
