There was a 1% chance of this complication.
"There was a 1% chance of this complication" but it happened to me. I asked my doctor what are the chances of another complication? That I could go home from the hospital and move the wrong way and have another hematoma and bleeding? He said the chances are small but the chances were small that at 43 I would have been diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and there was a small chance the mass would be so large that they would have to take 4 inches of skin along with the tumor and not be able to put in an expander, thus making me walk around with only one boob for 7 months. Leading to a Lat flap surgery, and there was a small chance I would end up having to have my gallbladder out in the midst of it all. Going thru 4 rounds of chemo before that even. So, what are the chances? Small, but they happened to me. September 9th, 2016 Surgery day. The out patient surgery to take out the expanders and put in the implants. It's simple and I would be home that night
