Hi All,
Thanks so much to all of you who helped answer my "newbie" questions. Today I had a consult with the plastic surgeon. I have decided to go with immediate reconstruction with saline implants. By going a bit smaller with my breast size she will be able to place the implants at the time of my mastectomies without needing to use tissue expanders so that will mean there will be no need for a second surgery. Now just waiting for a surgery date. The waiting involved with this seems to cause the most stress - just want to get it done and over with. I guess this time in my life will surely teach me alot about patience. Wishing you all a peaceful evening and thank you again for answering my questions and just for being here.
Hugs
Nell
