Hi Joanne
I hope the fevers get better. I am suprised that your onc would have ok'd tissue expanders and reconstruction if they were aware that you were going to have radiation. Reconstruction is doable after radiation but it is a different process. The information on the LVEF is useful to many. Are you going to continue Herceptin? I had to stop herciptin after a few months due to a significant drop in my LVEF. My onc was not sure it was of use to me after chemo had stopped and I have not seen any evidence that she was wrong to date.
