my wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer and needs a mastectomy she has breast implants so will she struggle to have re structure we are totally in the dark at the minute my wife is terrified we never thought we would be here
I am sorry to hear about your wife's diagnosis and appreciate the worry and questions that this can bring.
Having breast implants doesn't necessarily mean that your wife can't go on to have a further reconstruction after a mastectomy. It is my understanding that breast surgeons are often familiar with this situation and it is usually easier to reapply implants as the skin and tissues have already been stretched.
Of course every woman and cancer is different and it is best to talk with the breast surgeon when your wife sees them to discuss what is and isn't possible and the best way forward for her.
Try and sit tight as best you can for now and I hope you know more soon.
Do get back in touch if you have further questions and please feel free to give us a call on 0808 800 4040 if you prefer. We are here weekdays 9-5.
