Was told today that I have a low grade DCIS cancer. I’ve opted for total mastectomy as there are 4 different areas and they are too far apart for partial removal. I think I’ll have reconstruction immediately from my stomach area, I’m a little worried. Will my new boob feel like my old one? Is my breast skin left on and the tissue removed then stomach fat inserted into breast skin covering? Or does the whole lot get removed and sewn back on round the edges of the new one? The nipple has to be removed as there is one behind it. How soon should I be thinking of getting a tattoo nipple? So many questions and not enough time to ask them all and get answers in the clinic as they are so busy.
