Re: How long is too long...Please help...

Glad that you have a new doctor and a plan. Getting treatment underway is the most important. After your treatment plan is in place and you get through surgery you can make more choices. By the way, there are some of us on the site that have not had reconstruction and are very happy. This is a very personal choice as I am sure you know, but there is no rush to make the decision. All the best.
