Hi, after being diagnosed with DCIS 3 months ago and three lots of surgery the decision has now been made that I need a mastectomy.and sentinel node biopsy at the same time. Due to hernia the reconstruction I wanted is not an option so have opted for implant reconstruction. What are the pros and cons of this
Hi Kaz57
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with DCIS. While I haven't had a mastectomy I thought I'd reply to you to move you back up to the top of the discussion. Hopefully others will be along soon to answer your question.
Wishing you the best of luck with your operation.
Best wishes
