Re: Cancelled reconstruction
I agree w Bonnie, this may be a sign that this is not the right PS for you. I too teach at a community college and am trying to sched my surgery when we have a break. I will be doing the latissimus flap. I don't have enough fat on my tummy (yeah right). My PS wants to wait a year after my radiation before surgery. Hoping he might agree to Christmas time since I have 2 wks off, otherwise I give up my spring break and get coverage for an additional week and hope I'm ready to come back.
