Reconstruction
Hi Everyone,
I'm scheduled for a bilateral mastectomy, with immediate implant reconstruction on july 14th.

I'm getting pretty nervous. I would love to here some
experiences anyone has had with this type of proceedure.

Thanks, Laurie

Maybe Mary Jo and a few others might be able to answer her questions. Thank you.

Chelee
