Hi. The best bet is to stay focus and stay positive, everything will be alright if you are positive. Have gone through a lot yet l will not allow it to put me in a bad mood, for example am going back to Uni. To study Education has a part-time student, my first tutorial class starts today 12th of October . I had mastectomy in 2009 and up till now the procedure continues . Recon.with LB implant in 2011, the implant got infected and it was removed in 2012 , After the removal of the infected implant it took a while before healing but am ok now. And that is the reason am going for DIEP in 2014, and the same time studying to get my mind strong and to stay focus for good. You can ask me question l will be of help. Wish you all the best.

I was on waiting list for more than one year before having reconstruction because l had six weeks radiotherapy treatment , my body needs to settle down get healed properly before going to the next step,and at times if there are emergency cases as l was told then when l called my care nurse . You can talk to you nurse if you are anxious about how long you have to wait . Am talking from my own experience l don't know if this answer your question.

Hi, When l had mx l was given softee because l don't want flat chested because l will be going back to work,but when l was fully healed l ask for prosthesis to match my other breast pending the time the two breast will be adjusted. If you are comfortable is ok but l find the prosthesis heavy but it depends on you if you are comfortable or not. But if l may suggest you can have the softee and prosthesis if you are not ok with the prosthesis you can return it which l did.

Hello Everyone, Please l need a quick advice and information about DIEP breast reconstruction . Am going for another surgery on my LB ,because the implant was removed due to infection and l was told that the only option to put it right is to go for DIEP where l can see the Oncoplastic surgeon to discuss about the free flap reconstruction with me(DIEP). And my consultant is yet to confirm the appointment date but have received a letter that she will discuss my case with the Oncoplastic surgeon to put things right. The first reconstruction was my back muscle + tissue was taken to form my breast added with Becker implant that was removed . I need someone that might have gone through DIEP free flap reconstruction to let me know the procedure . Although have been given guidelines to go through and my care nurse had discuss with me, but l need anyone that has gone through this reconstruction to talk with. Date is not fix yet until have seen the Oncoplastic surgeon together my surgeon to discuss before the date for the surgery can be booked or confirm. Thanks xxx

Hi Libby 2010,
Thank you very much l can now go on with the Rt breast uplift and reduction, on my next appointment which is 22nd of April.
I will try the helpline again because l tried the line yesterday and it was busy,but l have the cancer website given to me by Lucy and l was able to get information too. I can now discuss with my surgeon during the next appointment. Maybe because of the radiotherapy l had on my Lt breast side that is why the silicon got infected. I think l can now focus on the Rt side of my breast,l will call the helpline again and also wish you quick recovery.
With regards

My next appointment will be in April to discuss about Lb areola tatto and Rb uplift to match .
I hope the silicon that was removed because it got infected can be replaced back with good one. Anyway fingers cross till my next appointment. Please has anyone gone through removal of infected silicon, and is it possible to have another one after breast reconstruction.
