Hi,

I'm having tug flap surgery after finding out I have breast cancer. 

They are using both thighs and I'm terrified, there's no information about it anywhere and I just want to hear from people who have experienced it!

Can anyone tell me what it's like!?

Thank you

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although I haven't had this type of surgery, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

    I've done a group search and found these previous posts which mention this type of surgery and Macmillan has this information about TUG flap surgery.

    While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
