Bloody amazing!!! I’m 32 and just been diagnosed with triple negative! This gives me hope
Hi, I know this is over a decade ago but this you are the only person I have found who has had a baby post DIEP surgery! I had mine at 24 years old (just over a year ago) and am desperately wanting to fall pregnant but I’m really concerned with being able to carry to term as there is next to no research. How did you get along?x

Hi all,
I know it’s been a while since anyone last posted on here and the original post is very old, but I am looking for advice.
I was diagnosed at the age of 32 with stage 2 BC, Her2 positive in Nov 2023. At the time my child was 16 months old and I was distraught that I possibly may not be able to have anymore children, but accepted the situation and was grateful that I have at least one.
I have finished all treatments April of this year (chemo, lumpectomy, mastectomy, radiotherapy and anti-her2 treatment). When I had to have a mastectomy June last year, it completely broke me. All I have been doing since then is counting down the days until I am ready for a reconstruction. I HATE looking at my body and in my eyes I feel incomplete.
I saw my breast surgeon on Tuesday to see how my surgery area is healing and she was happy with everything. I had watched a YouTube series about diep flap and also knew which surgeon I wanted to be referred to. It was all going so well and I was finally going to be a step closer to the reconstruction that I’ve been longing for so long, until the surgeon mentioned ‘family’ and what my plans are about future children. She suggested perhaps I wait to get pregnant first and then maybe look to having a diep flap in maybe 4-5 years later, but I am struggle mentally and finding it difficult to cope. At the same time I would love to give my boy a sibling and don’t want to be selfish.
I guess the reason for this post is to know how successful have pregnancies have been for others and what happens to the scar area after pregnancy? Does your stomach still stay flat after or does it revert back to normal?
Can I have a diep flap and still fall pregnant in years to come, as long as my body allows it?
