Hi, following biopsies 4/10 I had WLE and SNB 24/10 - bifocal invasive tumours (20mm + 4mm) and 55mm DCIS removed. Lymphs clear but 3 sides of DCIS without clear margins. Yesterday (12/12) I had reexcision with lateral mammoplasty. Obviously no results yet (if margins not achieved will have mastectomy) and will also be having radiotherapy. My question really is about managing the considerable asymmetry now and what to wear generally and in particular for sport - I am a runner (usually). Previous breast size 34F and would estimate that my right breast is 3 cup sizes smaller after both surgeries. Obviously won’t be back running for few weeks ! but keen to be ready as exercise is my sanity in this crazy cancer world, and in the meantime supposed to be wearing supportive bra, how is that possible when breasts so different in size? Thanks for reading this and grateful for any tips.
