I am considering a mastectomy with reconstruction and I would like to hear from ladies who have this done. I want to know about recovery and psychological/emotional impact

  • Hi Afeou, do you have any specific questions? The forum is full of posts about these subjects and assuming you have read some of these posts I am now guessing you may be after information that is not covered, but I am not sure what it is you are trying to find out.

  • Hi there, I had Masectomy and reconstructive surgery 5 weeks ago. I can honestly say I'm soo pleased with my new boob, it was a bit strange having no nipple, Reconstruction has a big thumbs up from me. I had No psychological problems or issues as I was well prepared in my mind what to expect. I was a bit surprised how numb it felt at first but it has settled down now and feelings are coming back. I took things very easy for my recovery and has paid off. Vitaly important to do exercises that the hospital give you
