Re: Reconstruction
Great replies and insight. Just a little note about me. I chose not to have reconstruction, because at my initial DX at age 58 and the year of2006, my oncologist said that radiated skin did not do so well with reconstruction. I guess I never gave it much consideration after that. Yes, I miss my boobs, but I am still very happy with my decision. I also, do not like surgery etc.
All the best in your decision. There is a great thread here someplace about people's feelings pro and con...a few years after their decision.
