I saw the Plastic Surgeon for the 2nd time today. He had originally planned to do an LD reconstruction, but after the lymph node surgery, it was discovered that the vessels on my chest wall are too 'fried' after the previous surgery and radiotherapy so an LD recon, or any other kind that involved the vessels was no longer viable.
My only option, which he normally would not do on someone who has had radiotherapy, is tissue expander then implant, but he thinks my skin looks ok for that. I agree to this as I am desperate just to have a pair again. He gives me a date for 22nd April 2009 so I will have a new boob for my 41st birthday :).
This is my story, as a 42 year old, young woman, living with terminal breast cancer.
