Personally I decided against reconstruction!. I felt - and still feel - that after all I'd been through I didn't want further surgery unless it was necessary, and I didn't want to spend any of whatever time I had left recovering from major surgery!. And breast reconstruction is major surgery - a much more bigger and lengthier operation than mastectomy, with a longer recovery time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sure you can and the government will pay for it any time you decide to have it done (from what I have been told)!.
My wife had her mastectomy two months ago and she is now taking Taxol and then will begin radiation!. She is taking a year off before she decides if she want to go through more painful surgery!.
It does get tiring!. Good luck to you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
