Hello I'm looking for someone who has gone through a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction with expanders? I am having trouble with one side and want to know if anyone else has had the same problem? My doctor can not get the saline to go into the expanders. I might have to go through another surgery. Please if anyone has more information I would love to talk to you. Thanks

    Hi. I am having trouble
    Hi. I am having trouble with my left side. I am 5 wks post op and have had one filling. It took most of the filling but was leaking afterwards. They say it is because of the radiation i had 8 yrs ago and my breast was so damaged. I am also hopeful not to have to have another surgery. Marilyn
