Hello,
Thank you so very much for making this available to those who are suffering and in need of good advice. I am a young woman, who led a very active life before I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I sell Real estate and I am also a musician, therefore like "most" woman, my body and looks are very important to me. I had a radical masectomy of my right breast, went through six months of chemo I choose not to do radiation. I have a tissue expander in until my surgery is completed. The problem is, the muscle above the impant has atrophied. My surgeon has explained two options: back flap or taking fat from my lower abdomen and insert that above the implant. I opt for the fat "thing." She said that complicatons can arise from this, such as infections and lumpiness. Please help me!! Is there any other options for this problem? To look at me with clothes on, you would never guess I "was" sick, however, I want to wear tank tops and low cut gowns again. I am a very positive person and this is not holding me back, however, if there is an option to help me look "normal"again?? I am more than gratful for any advice you can give. "Thank you again!"
