Re: Reconstruction
dberg: I am in San Antonio too! I did call PRMA and they book a few weeks out. It looks as though I will not be able to have the surgery this summer. Maybe that is for the best as I have too many uncertainties rolling around in my brain. I think I will take the advice of Mary Jo and give it time. I don't need to be in a rush and need to feel at peace with my decision. Thank you for all your words of advice!
