Issues doing breast reconstruction after lumpectomy

Hi all,

I've posted a few topics on lumpectomy vs mastectomy and my own situation. I wanted to see if anyone had specific experience doing a mastectomy a few months after lumpectomy and if scar tissue or any other issues presented a concern. I obviously need to get my cancer taken out as soon as possible, but am concerned about rushing a mastectomy without adequately thinking about it. One of my doctors suggested proceeding with lumpectomy first and then deciding between radiation and mastectomy if my numbers/cancer size hold. The mastectomy could then be scheduled at around 12 weeks out if I go that route. Is there any issue with also not doing radiation during that time period?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide, and if anyone has personal experience going this route, it would be extremely helpful.
