I was diagnosed with benign phyllodes tumor 2019 after its aggressively growe, I had full mastectomy 2022 and then I discovered it is malignant. Now my surgen urgent me to do radiation,but i am scared that it might damage my skin and may prevent me from getting reconstruction. Do anyone had this radiation treatment and reconstruction well.

Hi @malyah, some surgeons recommend waiting to do reconstrution until about radiation. Radiation therapy can cause undesirable changes to an implant reconstruction, so you may be better to have radiation first.
