If the plastic surgeon decides I'm a good candidate, I'm planning to have a skin-sparing mastectomy with tissue expander, followed by radiation, and then transfer 6 months later. Wondering who else has done this successfully (or unsuccessfully).

    Mommy - there are a ton of threads discussing this. Try Breast Implant Sizing 101, and Exchange, and TE Primer. Also on going surgery & radiation threads. I would recommend joining a group that's going through the same thing while you are - such as Surgery June 2017.

    MinusTwo- Thanks for the suggestions. I tend to get overwhelmed searching through the longer threads to find relevant posts, but I'll keep at it.
