Re: reconstruction questions
Wow, such great information. Yes, I will have radiation on the effected side, left. I was told that implants was not an option.it the time of surgery the Dr said I was a candidate for the tram flat. I am not sure what that entail. I will have to look at that website that Yanyan suggested. I have been "boobless" for 4 months now. I just got my prosthetics last week. I didn't realize how much having boobs affects your outfits.
Susan can you tell me more about the process? What is a "slow" recovery time? Will I be able to do reconstruction after radiation if I don't have expanders now?
