Reconstruction and cancer recurrence
Hello everyone,
I have another question for you today. I'm not sure if this one can be answered here or not but am going to see.
As some of you may remember, I am contemplating DIEP Reconstruction. They will remove skin and fat from my abdomin (no muscle) to recontruct new breasts for me. I meet with the plastic surgeon tomorrow (God Willing as the weather sounds questionable for the trip tomorrow so may have to post pone) and have a list of questions for him. I recall reading something about recurrence and surgery here or elsewhere and wondered.............................could having breast reconstruction 2 1/2 years after the fact (presently at NED) cause cancer cells to "come alive." Naturally thinking of this is absolutely frightening and of course, if that could be true I'd NEVER consider it.
Just wondering if there was any medical proof one way or the other on this.
Again, thank you for being here for me.
Mary Jo
