Hello to all! I will begin left chest wall radiation on Tuesday. Had double mastectomy in June. AC-T ended a week ago. Did anyone have reconstruction done after chest wall radiation that did not include the tram flap. I DO NOT want to remove tissue from my back,etc. I am hoping to just do tissue expanders, implants. Have been advised that the skin becomes "runined" from the radiation. Any comments would be appreciated. Kim - Minneapolis 43 years old. (Currently on Herceptin)
