    Double Mastectomy

    Recent double mastectomy on Feb 2, 2017, no lymph involvement, had DCIS and invasive ductal carcinoma, ER+, PR+, HER2+(the triple positive).  Taking Letrozole.  No chemo or radiation.  At the time of surgery I did not have the expanders put in; however, six (6) months after double mastectomy (sometime near August 2017) ... reconstruction is to take place.

    Has anyone out there taken this route to have the reconstruction done?  Any pros and cons to this method?

    chose to stay flat

    I did not choose reconstruction.  Alot of people on here have and I think that you will find many positive stories and tips if you keep digging.
