Hello breasties, I write to all who’s had a DIEP Flap and of child bearing age. I have responded many times to posts in hopes to help or encourage, and I respectfully wish the same in return. Who has been formally told (by their doctor of any kind, oncologist/general surgeon/plastic surgeon) that you “cannot get/be pregnant after having a DIEP Flap?” 

I am of child bearing age. My husband and I started talking about babies since I am now finished with all treatment and surgeries (I’ve had 10). I’ve recently read here and there that “my doctor/surgeon said I can’t have a DIEP Flap until after I’ve had a baby so reconstruction is delayed”…. 

I was NEVER once told that I could not get pregnant AFTER having my DIEP Flap. I’m scared. I’m pissed. I don’t know what to do. My husband doesn’t know this information yet and everyday it’s “baby this” and “baby that”. I’m two years post-DIEP.

(I will be reposting this again - if Reddit allows- since there are people who are in other time zones who probably won’t see this now that may be able to respond later and I’m hoping to get at least one “it’s okay my doctor allowed pregnancy after DIEP”).

Coming from Florence, we'll have 6 full days to spend in the south of Italy as well as Sicily. October 5th-10th.

We don't want to spend full days/overnights in one place, we don't need to see all that there is to see, we more so want to check places off our list like we did Venice (grabbed pizza and dessert, walked around and took a few pictures).

Anyone have any suggestions, recommendations, experience with traveling through the south of Italy and Sicily both in such a short time? Or those that have been to all the places, what are the absolute must see places if you're only going once?

(We travel by train, fine with local bus/taxi transportation when in town, we have the means for good hotels and have a high budget. We just want to go and explore/experience.)

For context, my husband and I travel to Italy every year, so this isn't a "trying to see all we can in such a short time because we don't know when we'll be back" trip. We're spending most of our time in our favorite places and decided to spend a few days in the south and Sicily this trip.
