Re: To talk of Ports, and markers and DIEP
It would be unilateral. I thought at first that I would not be doing this. It might be some time between the DIEP and the revision. I am fitting this in around the college schedule and then there are the classes that I am taking. It was good to hear that you had a good experience. It sounds like most of yall have been happy wit the results. Thanks. Mary Jo, it might be helpful to call you. I am not going to have the surgery until July ( I am teaching first summer semester) so ther is no hurry.
