Was going to have tram flap simultaneously as node dissection & mastectomy, but I was advised to have a delayed flap. Only because they didn't want me to delay radiation treatment, should I have a slow recovery rate from surgery. So, I only had mastectomy & node removal last Nov.
Also, had breast reduction on the other side in the same surgery. Now in midst of trying to find appropriate prosthesis. Met prosthesis specialist last week, but still hard to fit at the moment, since I'm somewhat between cup b & c. Not sure if swelling is still there, as goal is cup b. If I don't find prosthesis comfortable, then tram flap it is.
Any helpful input appreciated!
