Hi iris, Thanks for the infomation, I have to get the flap surgery on my right side because of radiation and the saline implant will be under that,and a simple mastectomy on my left side with the implant like you described. The book says I may have some temporary or permanent muscle weakness and or difficulty with movement in my back and shoulder, this is what I am wondering about. I am so glad you are doing well sounds like you keep yourself in shape, hope you continue doing great!
