Just a note on the breast. I don't understand the reconstuction part. I had a radical on the right with a graft to the chest wall and then a profalactic simple mastectomy on the left. The surgeon was able to use the skin on the left breast for the graft. One piece the size of a credit card she took from below the left near the breast bone. Breast reconstruction was not an option for me with IBC and no clear margins. I had to stay in the hospital for 5 days so not to get infection. I had very little pain in fact my morfin pump line fell out right after surgery and I went on oral pain medication only to find out by the third day that it was nausea medication!! Maybe, you should consider another opinion. Best wishes to you. Hugs, Sandy
