Mri results/ mastectomy?

Hi Ltommo88

I haven't much of an idea (as only had lumpectomy), but wanted to pop on and acknowledge your post and wish you all the very best for dealing with what you are facing and sorry that you are having to go through it.

From what I have read from other posts during covid, I've seen that immediate reconstruction seems to be more likely to be possible.  I could be totally wrong, so I'm hoping by replying that others who DO know will see the post as it's moved higher up the list and any hopefully answer your question re a double reconstruction and the technicalities of doing this.

Kindest wishes,

Lesley 

Hi, I was offered double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction.  I am not in any risk factor groups for covid.  I live in Glasgow which is an area with high prevalence of covid.  Hope this helps.

Thank you very much, for bumping my post and for your kind words 

Did u have any cancer in the other breast? My other one is clear but I don’t want the anxiety to take over my life and I know it will. 
thank you I kept hearing that it isn’t “essential” so wasn’t happening. With the mammoplasty he said my reconstruction may take up to two years 

Hi, I have the brca1 gene hence the double mastectomy ( I already had a lumpectomy).  The surgeon was keen for immediate reconstruction and that was his first choice.  He did warn me that the subsequent 'tweaking' operations would be delayed due to covid and as they have not been performing these at the current time, there would be a long wait (2 years)!
