Anyone go to Hamilton for Mascetomy and Reconstruction?

Curlylocks

I have been referred by my GP to Dr. Nicole Hodgson at Juravanski Cancer Centre in Hamilton for a double mast and hopefully reconstruction with Dr. Avram.

Has anyone had reconstruction done in Hamilton? How long did you wait for a consult and then surgery? How recent was your surgery?

If the wait time is too long to have both done, I will get the double mast done and then wait for reconstruction. I am not about vanity, don't want to risk a reoccurance in my left or a new primary in my right due to high risk family history.

A little bit of history about myself - I am an 8 year survivor, diagnosed at age 41. Had left breast lumpectomy,chemo,radiation, took Armidex for 5 years and had my ovaries removed.

My youngest sister diagnosed with bc at age 42 in 2010, she died in 2012.

My oldest sister diagnosed 2 weeks ago at age 50. She had a double mast 9 days ago.

Due to my high risk family history (3 of us diagnosed pre-menopausal) I am having a prophy double mast with reconstruction.

Thanks
