So I have an oncologist appointment Apr.16 and a surgeon appointment Apr. 17. I am scheduled for a mammogram on the 17th. I see that as kind of pointless since I'll be having that breast removed anyway. I guess it's a check for cancer so I'll do it. I'm anxious about reconstruction. I'm really hoping it can happen but I'm preparing myself for the worst. Then I have to decide if I want to do the lat flap procedure with the loss of some range of motion. Or should I not have any recon and live with no boobs?? I was discussing this with a guy friend last week. I told him that if I can't have reconstruction then I'll get a really cool tattoo. He said "Yeah some of those tattoos are awesome!" Or I could have only the right breast reconstructed. Maybe my skin has healed enough from the radiation and it will be OK...
So...if I don't have recon can I go topless??? Ha ha!
Any suggestions? What would you do?
