I have never heard of AloDerm can you tell us what it is and how it is used?

There are ladies here that have had both breasts taken off. I sure wish I would

have. I will keep you in my prayers.

Hugs

AloDerm in breast reconstruction &removing healthy

breast as well as deceased

I'd like to know if anyone has opted for using AloDerm as part of

breast reconstruction following mastectomy.

I would also like to hear from women who have decided to remove a

healthy breast in addition to the breast that's been diagnozed with

cancer and if they had any regrets about their decisions.

Hello ladies happy new year to all.

Mrs Katz, my name is Chantal diagnosed with DCIS in 08/03/06, had surgery on

09/11/06. I choose to remove my good breast as prophylactic because I didn't

want to worry about my cancer coming back on the other breast, just to have

peace of mind and less risk of recurrence on the other breast. I don't regret

my decision, at least I had both breast for 45 years and hates to lose them due

to cancer, but I am thankful to be alive. I had breast reconstruction done, skin

ex panders placed in immediately after surgery, but I never heard of Aloderm.

My prayers are with you. Take care.

I had bilateral mast. in feb 05. My right breast was healthy. But I decided to

go ahead and have both done. I didn't want to be at a point in my life where I

couldn't do the other breast recon for whatever reason. I have also read that

when having recon done symmetry is very hard when you do recon on just the one.

It was my second time having bc in the left breast and a lumpectomy and

radiation was not going to work for me so I made the decision to do both and I

don't look back and I try very hard not to second guess myself. When I start

thinking about the what ifs. it drives me crazy. So I just don't. I get busy

doing something anything to take my mind off it. tt.

Thank you.

What a nightmare this is and it's just the beginning! I'm still trying to

digest this whole new phase of my life and it is devastatingly sad.

it's a tissue that is used (comes from the dead body) for sort of a cushion

between the implant and skin. It is radiated, it's not a live tissue, so there

is no risk (supposedly) of getting any kind of decease. It doesn't have live

cells anymore and it becomes a part of the tissue and can't be removed ever. So

far everything I've read about seems to indicate it's a positive thing and

nothing to be afraid of. It is creepy though when you realize where it comes

from. I wanted to hear from other people who may have used it during

reconstructive surgery.
