I had lumpectomy and radiation 2002 on left to very small bc, has anyone had reconstruction after radiation to breast. I was refused reconstruction to right breast where i had radiation to mastectomy area in 2004. I want to have a mastectomy on left before bc returns but would like to elect a reconstruction at time of mastectomy; however, have had prior radiation to that area and wonder if they will now refuse .
I do not know what is standard for reconstruction and it seems all you ladies say you had chemo but i do not see you had radiation. Please let me know. I was told after radiation tissue dead and skin will not take, any comments?????
