Mastectomy and reconstruction

Any of you ladies had the autologus latissimus doris reconstruction. What are your thoughts on this option of reconstruction ?

  • Hi Becky, 

    We've a few ladies on the forum who have had this kind of reconstruction. You might find it useful to have a read through this thread and comment on the bottom. I'm also going to tag in [@Fifigibbo]‍ in the hope that she sees your post here. 

    There's some information on our website that may be of help and we have a team of nurses that you can speak to if you've any other questions. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to m5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope this helps.

  • Thank you for the help and links to further information. Unfortunately this option is no longer viable as my history of radiotherapy raises too many negatives for me to even consider it. If there are any ladies out there having/had the expander implant all thoughts would be welcome. Once again thank you x
