Hello all everyone. I am due to have a mastectomy in the new year after small recurrence of breast cancer. I had a lump removed in 2020 and was fortunate that I only had a short course of radiotherapy afterwards followed by a breast reduction on the other side to match me up.
This new small lump was found during annual routine mammogram and is much smaller, but apparently national protocol recommends a full mastectomy, so I’m scheduled for that sometime in Jan / Feb I think.
Just wondering if anyone has any guidance on the reconstruction….. I’m hoping they can do it the same time and use some of my belly fat, although I have done rather well on slimming world in the last year, so it’s not a ‘given’. But if anyone has had this, could you tell me about how it went for you and your recovery time please?
Many Thanks for reading this, wishing you all blessings for Christmas
