Hello ladies,
How have you been lately? Have you seen this older discussion?
After your breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, did you decide to undergo breast reconstruction? What motivated your decision or not? What was your experience like?

I did not. I still had 31 rounds of radiation to do. Then I would have to wait a few more months. I didn’t want to go through surgery again. I can’t say I’m totally happy not having anything but I’m happy and my husband never says a word about it.

Symptoms and complications of breast cancer
What was your age and what initial symptoms did you experience at onset?
positive
@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.

Hello everyone,
Have you undergone breast reconstruction? Or are you looking into it to this procedure?
It would be a wonderful support tool and advice repository if you could you share what your experience with breast reconstruction, what you wished you would have known before, what you would recommend asking the plastic surgeon prior to the procedure, and anything else you feel relevant.
