My surgeon did not recommend immediate reconstruction, so I opted to wait which turned out to be a good idea since I had to have radiation. What we thought was going to be Stage I, turned out to be Stage 2B with 5 positive nodes.
As yet I have not had recon, very comfortable with my prosthesis. I'm not ready to jump back into surgery. I've had several problems since dx with different medical maladies.
I feel that one day I will have recon, DIEP most likely. Implants are not an option for me as I have strange reactions to medications, foreign objects, latex, etc.
It is a personal decision for each.
