Hello,
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January and currently waiting to have my last dose of chemotherapy. Went to see the surgeon a week ago and discuss the procedure. I'd always stated I would prefer a body tissue reconstruction as this just felt like the best option for myself. However I've been told my referral has been rejected as I've had chemotherapy first and my bmi is too high. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen or if they have had a different type of breast reconstruction and would recommend/advise anything? I've been told I can have the body tissue reconstruction but at a later date and that the waiting list is about 2 years and they won't be in any sort of hurry to do it as it will be classed as cosmetic. I'm not sure I want to wait that long, especially for my mental health when I already don't feel like myself. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks
