Recently diagnosed ILC & DCIS

Yes, I had a single mastectomy with an immediate DIEP reconstruction on 10th July and now I am fully recovered and very pleased I opted for that kind of reconstruction. The only downside is the additional scar on your tummy, but mine is very thin and right above pubic area so my tummy look really great. The result exceeded my expectations. I too was scared because I have seen post surgery photos over the internet and they looked pretty horrible! Don't google too much, just have confidence in the team that will be looking after you. I am sure you will be in good hands! The best of luck with whatever you decide! xx 

Hi Lana65, that’s really reassuring to hear. Thank you for putting my mind at rest. It’s great to know that you’re fully recovered so soon. xx
