Hi Tracy. I'm going for my 5th expansion tomorrow. He only adds 75cc to each mound every week. I was a C cup before all this. I haven't worn a bra since August which I really like. I put a C cup bra on last week, and these "mounds" filled the bra nicely. 840cc seems like an awful lot to me, but maybe it's normal for some.
You are doing your research and will make an informed and educated decision regarding the tamoxifen and radiation. I have experience with neither. There are always "what ifs," but you mustn't second guess yourself. I am ER negative and slightly PR positive, so no tamoxifen or hormone inhibitors for me. It was chemo and Herceptin. I get that tomorrow too.
My thoughts are with you. You will make the right decisions.
