Had mastectomy and reconstruction 4 weeks ago but this thing has felt huge and so painful. Kept being told it is just the swelling and bruising, give it time! Had a call yesterday that the photos they took last week showed it is rather large and had to have an ultrasound today in case of fluid. Thankfully all good a little fluid but not too bad then the consultant tells me he used a 300 when he should have use a 270, not sure what this means but it does explain things I guess. The breast they took away was smaller but I was Only a 36B, not the new one is more like 38 EE and stand up like its 21 and my own one acts as if it 55 and gave up defying gravity a long time ago! I know that nothing can be done for quite a while but why do men think we all want huge breasts?
