Hi all,
I am looking for advice please from the ladies who have had reconstruction done, I am due surgery in jan for a single/possibility double mastectomy and have meetin with surgeons on Monday. I am thinking of asking for the DIEP flap but know is hard op and recovery? How have people got in with this, any regrets? Implants seem an easier option but don’t last for ever. Any advice would be great.
Thanks
Lots ofove to you wonderful ladies ?
Jane,
I start radiotherapy on the 17th. I went to an open night last night so saw the radiotherapy machine and all the behind the scenes areas. Have you joined the December radiotherapy thread? I will be working full time whilst having radiotherapy.

Jane my surgery will have been 56 days prior to rads. I was told 6 to 8 weeks by my surgeon and when it was going to start on the 27th which would be 66 days that it wouldn’t make any difference. I suugested starting work an hour earlier if I had a later appointment which I hope I will be able to manage so I don’t miss as much work.

Jane when did you start chemo? Just wondered as May chemo peeps are planning on meeting up at some point when everyones finished treatment.
Yes hope we don’t get any problems. I started moisturisiny am and pm with E45 on bad boob as they told me to start at the open evening.
I volunteered to review a book with Macmillan. I did order the one you recommended but cancelled as I will review that one first if I still want to go ahead after reading what they have sent me.
