Hi Friends,

I'm looking for information from others who were fully expanded, but then drained for radiation. Did it help the reconstruction process? I was expanded to 900ccs then drained to 200. My radiation oncodoc said it would reduce skin damage. I finished radiation last week with just pink skin. I'm optimistic, but won't know for sure until the end of June when my PS starts fills again.
