Mary Jo,
My friend who at the time of dx was stage III with matted lymph nodes, had DIEP reconstruction about 18 months after dx and she is doing great. She just celebrated three years NED.
Having said all of the above, I think there is a theory about inflammation and cancer (Becky or Lani would probably know more about this then I do). However, I don't think you should let that stop you from having surgery. Do you take Omega 3's or turmeric? Both are natural anti inflammatory. I take both of them everyday.
Best of luck with your surgery.
Karen
