Hi all,
Had my mastectomy and a tissue expander implant on 31st July and am due to start rads on 26th September. I know that rads will probably shrink the implant. The surgeon said he’s going to leave it alone until 3-4 months after rads when it has all settled down (it currently looks GREAT!!!) I just wanted to know how much its likely to shrink and what other effects my new boob may suffer- as you can probably tell, I am very protective of it- ha!
Can anyone share their experience with me?
Thanks
Katyx
Hi Katy,
Can’t offer any info on this sorry, but also would be interested in hearing any other experiences of tissue expander implants, as I have been offered this when I have my surgery, which will be in Jan following chemo…and have also been told I will have rads after that.
So ladies, any info?
Thanks
Shannon
