Hi I felt exactly the same as you. I've had a mastectomy (11/4) and was supposed to be having reconstruction at the same time but unfortunately due to other complications failed. It was agreed with my surgeon if that was the case during the op to reduce on the left and reconstruct the right in the future. I contacted the breast care nurses and plastic surgeon on a few occasions before hand until I understood completely what the treatment plan was. If I hadn't and the op had turned out as it did I don't think I would've coped at all. I'm still not clear what the reconstruction process is from here but have a check up on Tuesday and will be asking again. I really believe unless it's completely clear and you understand what's going to happen it will have a detrimental effect on you emotionally. Everyone has been so patient, understanding and helpful I haven't felt I was being a nuisance. Its hard enough to cope with everything and retain what you're being told so take all the help available to you. Wishing you all the very best KJ xx
