Hi all,

Done with chemo, yesterday was last radiation!!! Now I am considering a breast reduction to even out things. Has anyone done this? I am thinking both breasts reduction to reduce glandular tissue, make it easier to do self exams and to be able to comfortably exercise to keep weight down. Any thoughts or advice? How do I pick a surgeon, what do I ask?

Thanks,
Jane
