I only ask as my cancer came back in the reconstructed breast and my surgeon is saying he wants to remove the reconstruction, the skin (which I had saved from the mx) and the implant in order to do radiotherapy?
I know there is a risk that the implant may harden, but I was wondering whether I could just get this replaced if it happens, not lose the whole LD flap etc.
I feel the surgeon is just being cautious, but wondered if anyone has any experience of this? Or any points of view?
