Thank you! I had a double mastectomy with reconstructive in Dec 2015. Rochester will be doing a flat back closure which means taking the implant, skin and tissue. They will use the skin from my back for grafting in the front.

I had a lumpectomy in August 2017 for a stage 2 metaplastc cancer that was triple negative. I had the sentinel lymph node removed and there was no spread of the cancer into the lymph nodes. I had 4 rounds of chemo over three months followed by 20 radiation treatments. I lost my hair—it's still growing back — some nausea, a lot of tireedness, and dehydration with the chemo. I had a small burn with the radiation. I'm 71. So far no lumps have reappeared and I am due for my first mammogram in July.
