Snowy day in Milwaukee… as we drove up and back from Mequon for my appt.
Long meeting today with the plastic surgeon, discussing reconstruction options. There's still a possibility of a lumpectomy, but we wanted to make sure we knew all of the options with pro's and con's for reconstruction is a bilateral mastectomy is required. Both Heather and I went into the appt thinking I'd lean towards reconstruction with my own tissue (from my stomach) and left feeling that the implant route provides more options and continuity with treatment options, like radiation and chemo. ~Liz
