Reconstruction with silicone implants & mesh

Hi,

I realise that this is a really long shot but I wondered if there was anyone out there who might have been through a mastectomy procedure and then an immediate reconstruction with silicone implants - and who happens to have the disability spina bifida? Or who has reduced lung function which means that for major surgery they need to be on a ventilator and for sometime afterwards? My disability is making relatively straightforward breast cancer treatment fairly complicated. I have one other friend with spina bifida who was successfully treated with breast cancer but hers was a different type and grade, and she didn’t have a mastectomy. Many thanks for trying to help. 

Hi Spu1 - I’m afraid I can’t offer any advice on your specific question but I didn’t want to read and go by without sending you a big hug and wishing you all the very best as you go through treatment. I hope someone else will be able to help you. I had an implant and mesh so can answer any questions on that part should you have any.

Evie xx
