I'll try to get back in the

swing of things...I am looking

into a largely unknown type of

reconstruction (after researching

until my eyeballs crossed). Since

they recently (and finally) have

uncrossed from the initial

onslaught...onslaught... I

for a recrossing : )

Hello, I am fairly new here myself but have been recently posting after

lurking for some months.. mostly because I had questions that my docs were not

able to tackle, and mostly because I am like yourself a 'researcher'. But most

important of all, I found I was not as much of a loner as I thought after

reading all of the support here..

Can I ask what form of new reconstruction you are looking into?? I have been

doing quite a bit of research myself on Diep Siea and Free Tram Flap.. VS

implant reconstruction..I am due for an exchange of expanders here soon that

is why I ask..

I have come across the name of a doctor in Texas that does the Diep and

reattaches a nerve so that she is successful around 30% of the time getting

sensation back..?? But that is in Texas and I am in California..

Anyway, Welcome back to the group from a newbie..

Reattaching the nerves sounds great!

I've had a bilateral mastectomy, and I am not interested in

reconstruction until they find a way to restore sensation. I don't

want any body parts I can't feel.
