Referrals and Post op
Looking for some advice. My consultant wanted an mri due to me wanting to be referred. The wait was around a month with me calling twice a week. I got it yesterday but it has stalled everything. Surprisingly, in a good way, the nurse rang me today to say they haven't got a report yet. She then let me know that if the consultant will not refer me, based on the mri, they have provisionally booked the surgery. I said I would then like the surgeon in Dublin to do the reconstruction still and do a full masectomy. She seemed surprised by this and said we can discuss that and wait for your results. Has anyone had implant surgery with shona tormey in UL and how does it look compared to your other breast. I have multiple reasons to wanting to be referred and it does include aesthetics. If they do refuse I would really appreciate some info on anyone who has had a single masectomy with Dr shona tormey. I also wonder can you feel it a lot or does it settle?
Dear limerick woman.
Thank you for posting on our online forum. I was sorry to read of your diagnosis of breast cancer, I am sure this is a difficult time for you and your loved ones.
I do hope that you hear from others who have had similar treatment and who can provide guidance on what to expect post implant-based reconstruction.
