    Just had a friend from my support group go through radiation with a TE in place.  She did just fine and now has had her exchange surgery to implants.  She was extremely worried as to how this would effect her reconstruction.  Her PS told her that she would be fine and he just happens to be the same guy that I will be going to next year.  She had her exchange surgery done about 2 months after completing rads.
