View on Diep flap v implants, how have you got on with either?

H, I didn't have to make such a decision myself, but I all feel for you, it must be so difficult to know what is for the best.  I also noticed you've not had any replies yet, as the site is quite busy.  My response will bump you to the top of the list again this morning and I hope someone with the right experience will be along soon. Best wishes 

Hi JP16, I am currently going through this dilemma. Considering bilateral mastectomies and DIEP. I have triple -ve Bc in 1 breast and with a BRCA1 gene mutation,, considering  bilateral mastectomies to reduce risk of Bc in the other breast.

Such a big decision!

I wish you well and just wanted to say I know what you're going through x

Thank you Maisie33   It’s such a hard decision. I am waiting on genetics also and if positive my surgeon said would recommend both off. I only have enough tummy for one boob. So am back to thinking two implants. I have meeting tomorrow which may shed more light l. I get the sense they aren’t going to wait on genetics.  I understand the challenge,  it’s hard to know what to do for the best. Having spent time with the breast nurse today I am not sure the Diep is for me. Even though there is a huge amount of positive support for it. I’m not sure my tummy is big enough.  Good luck. And thank you for replying to my message.
