Re: Cancelled reconstruction
Sorry you are enduring this delay and indecision. When investigating DIEP, which I do believe in, I felt the same way. The surgeons office is very laid back and uncertain as to when they will ever schedule. All depends......well I teach and want it done and recovered in the summer. I chose not to have it done this summer for that very reason too. No gaurantees. After dealing with appt, treatment for 15 months, I didn't feel like I could be out anymore during the school year. I empathize with you and hope time will give you peace and help you figure out where to go from here!
