I have recently been diagnosed with capsular contracture in my breast where I had the BC. and I am waiting for surgery. I have had a double mastectomy with implants reconstruction. Hence the problem. This has not been caused by radiotherapy. They will remove the implant and insert a new one.
I would welcome advice from anyone else who had had this problem and have had surgery.
Hi, I'm one of the champions here in this group and whilst I don't have the experience you are looking for, I wanted to acknowledge your post. My response will also move your post back to the top of the group so hopefully someone with the right experience will be along soon. Best wishes
