Your Breast Cancer Experience

I am 13 yrs post mastectomy and reconstruction. I have some advice about reconstruction. The procedure I had was a TRAM FLAP, which is transverse abdominal mucsle. The abdomial muscle on the same side of the BR CA is brought up to create a breast mound. You have a scar from one side to the other of the abdomen. It's a wonderful procedure. No implants are needed nor the problems associated with that procedure.I worked for the plastic surgeon for 10 yrs who did this procedure. If you are interested in knowing more of my experience just let me know.
