Tissue expander reconstruction - what are your experiences?

You’re welcome! I was only ever offered 15 sessions which did make me a little concerned in regards to the implant. My surgeon was quite confident from how well the implant had responded after surgery and the months after that I would come through radiotherapy unscathed.

My experience was really good and respectful. I asked a lot of questions at my planning CT including if I’d have a cover up, how exposed I would be, how many people would be in the room. I was super nervous for my first one but once that was out the way it was a breeze. I was given a cover up and was only ever exposed to get lined up to the machine then covered up again.

The most difficult thing for me was the everyday appointment.
