Breast removal after lumpectomy & radiation
After my lumpectomy and radiation, my breast diminished in size compared to the "good" breast. I know this is vanity speaking, but I was wondering if anyone has had a lumpectomy and rads and then pursued mastectomy on the affected breast as well as a prophylactic mastectomy on their good breast... I would have reconstructive surgery to follow. I finished rads in June 2005.
I have visited many sites that talk about the pros and cons of reconstruction, yet nothing with conclusiveness.
I am hoping that the experiences of the many women on this board could help me figure out my next move.
