Had lumpectomy ,radiotherapy -a lot 17 years ago ! But was always promised a reconstruction.
my unaffected breast is now a droopy size E , and my treated one looks like a mouldy shrivelled satsuma.Clothes are impossible,as are bras.
surgeon suggested reconstruction as bras are impossible.Told that likelihood of failure , necrosis , repeated surgery etc more than 95% by second surgeon.
I couldn’t cope with the industrial strength bra and prosthesis, and reacted to the latex.
i am supposed to be grateful to be mutilated but alive.
in addition I have skin and lung damage from the five weeks of radiotherapy.Somethoughtless doctor asked why hah I had so much treatment ? Because I had cancer and was told to ,17 years ago
