No I did not have reconstruction done. I know that there are others who have. Maybe some of them will find your post & explain.
All I can say is be there for support. That is all you can do. Find information that will help him with the anxiety of it all. This web site helped me the most.
Like I said one day & step at time. Learn as much as you can. Also you as a care taker must take care of self as well. Try not to let this over whelm you as well. Be sure and read the care takers page. I am sure you will learn a lot there.
Take care,
Diane
