I finished chemo a few weeks ago (I have been swimming through it although at a much lower intensity) and I am now heading to surgery.

I hope you can share your experience with me. Like you I started with chemo and my surgery was 4 months ago. I opted for the tissue expander insertion at that time, not expecting to need radiation, which is complicating my reconstruction. How has your reconstruction affected your swimming? I will be getting back in the outdoor pool in a couple of weeks and I expect to be doing lots of slow drills to work on range of motion. I am not in love with my tissue expander as it sometimes pushes on the sternum and I can get muscle spasms in my pectoral where it is attached. I have not been able to locate any decent mastectomy swim suits on the internet in case I&#39;m a reconstruction failure. The closest candidate is T.H.E. collection swimmer&#39;s back mastectomy suit with a clasp at the nape of the neck. It looks heavy in the picture. Ideas? JRP<div style="clear:both;"></div>
