At the time of my double mastectomy tissue expanders were inserted in the breast to prepare the breast for reconstruction. I then months later underwent a 12 hour diep flat breast reconstruction surgery. While I thought everything was fine with in 24 hrs one of the flaps had failed. I then found myself back in the operating room to have that flap removed. I was then with one breast and in the hospital for 10 days in a lot of pain and trying not to let anything get to me. I was trying my best to stay positive.
