I have a question for all you ladies. I am scheduled for my 4th A/C on January 10th. After that I was told that I have to wait for 3 weeks before I have my mastectomy. How many of you have had both breast removed as a precaution? Will I be able to have the tissue expanders inserted at that time also? I know that I have to have 4 rounds of Taxol and then rads. Will they be able to place the tissue expanders in before the rads? I have so many questions and no answers here.
