Re: Reconstruction
Hi, I had a diep flap, so I thought I would give you my experience with it.
I was originally diagnosed in march, 2005. I had chemo, rads and a year of herceptin that I finished in may, 2006. I had my diep done in sept.2006.
I was 38 and in excellent health. I stayed in the hospital for 2 days and recovery took about 6 -8 weeks.
My kids were 4, 7 and 8 at the time of my reconstruction. It was difficult, but doable with help from my husband. it is a big surgery, but I have no regrets. I am so happy with the results.
I live in MN, but went down to New Orleans for my surgery, as they are considered the best in the country.
Good luck with your decisions
Laurie
