Could anyone tell me if they have ever heard of the flap being rejected at any point in time? I am 18 months post surgery and although I am cancer free at this point (and feel the Lord has taken care of the cancer) I am fearful of rejection. I have not seen the plastic surgeon in over a year and my oncologist now is seeing me only at six month interval I have few places to go to ask questions. Chapel Hill is a long way from Rural Hall NC. Reoccurence does cros my mind at times especailly after I came here and read some of the stories I stopped signing oh here for a few months. Fear makes one do silly things and not ask. Thanks for any and all help with this worry.
