I've just spotted this post and thought I'd share my experience. I had a mastectomy May 2020 with no option of reconstruction due to Covid, I was in contact with the nurses but eventually gave up. It's Feb 2021 tomorrow and still no word of reconstruction, I'm feeling completely fed up and forgotten. The constant pressure of the prosthetic hurts my mastectomy scar which is raised and pink but I feel really self-conscious and unconfortable going without it. I am coping by trying to ignore my situation as I get very weepy if I think about it. I'm glad some of you are getting treatment though as the waiting is horrendous.
