Hi
I am 2years 4months post mastectomy with immediate reconstruction LD flap. I am also 1 year post chemo & radiotherapy and I’m on letrozole nearly 2 years on it I suffer from aches in legs. And hot flushes but it’s doable as others say it can depend on the brand I find accord is the best for me and have managed to get it all the time. I have just had a letter today with a date for Thursday 27th April for a reduction on my good boob as there is a big difference in size, I have what they call a dog ear just at the side of my back which they will flatten. Excited and a bit nervous at the same time but will be glad that I will not be loopside as it did show when wearing certain clothes. To everyone just starting out on this journey it’s hard but doeable and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
take care
