hello lovelies
wanting a bit of a straw poll and to ask if anyone has experience of breast reconstruction?
I have to make the decision pretty imminently whilst mets are stable. I thought I would jump at the chance but now I'm not sure. There is some research to suggest that surgery ( of any sort) might actually trigger recurrence of cancer.
Your views / knowledge , as always, would be hugely valued
best love to all

Hi Boogirl
I haven't been in the position to have to make this decision but I noticed that your post hadn't had any responses.
You might find it worthwhile to join and post your question in the breast cancer group as there'll be a lot of people over there who will have had to make this decision and who can share their experiences with you.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post your question after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit 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.
All the best with whatever you decide is right for you.
