I had something similiar and I am sorry to say that I lost my implants but I went with NOLA and had flap reconstruction surgery. They will not do the surgery while you are having chemo (I believe) BUT they will do it while you are just on herceptin. I had 2 surgeries while I was just on herceptin. I was told locally that I didn't have enough fat and NOLA proved them wrong. Sorry that you are going thru all of this.
