Would you mind sharing whether you had reconstructive surgery and if so, the type? Due to radiation, I had to do delayed reconstructive. I opted to have expanders in to be able to have nipple sparring mastectomy. I’m starting now to regret my decision as I’m scared if there was any breast tissues left due to the skin and nipple sparring.

It's sad to realize that many of us, including me are fearful of the future. I try to live in the moment and my decisions thus far.
The wait to have reconstruction is very difficult and annoying. I'm in the same position. I found a physical therapist that is helping me with range of motion and strengthening my chest muscles to ready me for the next step. I want to live my best life and fear only takes that away from me. I wish you well in the decisions you make

No, I did not have reconstructive surgery. I had what is noted in some reports as partial mastectomies and in other places, lumpectomies, in December 2015. In July 2018, I had a cryogenic ablation to my left breast. This was less visually successful as the lumpectomies. I had ample breasts.
