Mother in law help
Hi survivors. My incredible mother in law, 69, was just diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma and is trying to navigate the many unknowns that come along with said diagnosis.
She works full time still and we live in a remote town where she’s too scared to share her news for fear of it affecting her work, but wants to hear more personal experiences people have had with recovery. We are not looking for medical advice, but would love to hear pros and cons of your reconstruction. She’s debating DIEP of the one breast she’d have a mastectomy on (she’s a very slight person and we don’t know if she’d have enough fat…,) or doing reconstruction with implant at the time of surgery to remove the cancer affected breast.
If you had either of those procedures done, what was recovery like? Pros and cons? Any and all insights welcome. 🙏
