How much can you do for yourself? How much help will you need? This will be an expander being replaced on left side and right side being adjusted to ‘match’ andd do create symmetry.

@A MyBCTeam Member Good luck with your reconstruction. Praying all goes well with minimal pain and a quick recovery.

Thank you for your good wishes. I’ll post afterwards so others can know the experience. I trust my ps so I’ll be literally in her hands.
You take care.

Stephanie so excited you are in that phase! Hope it all goes smoothly. I too am curious about the tattoo nipple vs the ps making one.

Hi Lora,
So sorry that you're having all this pain. We all have no idea what it will be like until we're in it. I hope things will start to change for you. I'll post how it all goes when it's all done. Surgery is next month.
Take care

I too will be undergoing reconstruction on one side and having the other one "match". Unfortunately i will have to wait until chemo and radiation are done as far as I understand. I have developed severe cording that is very painful even to right below my rib cage.
