How soon is too soon

girls - I’ve been getting on with getting better however quick recap is that dx in September 2009, surgery, chemo, rads, herceptin which finished May 2010 and now I am on tamoxifen. The issue I have and I’m not sure if this is daft but my left side where I had a lumpectomy is smaller than the other side (well of course it would be!!) neither my surgeon or my onc has said anything about either getting either one “sorted”. I would be tempted to get the right one reduced but not sure about risks of a new primary if you “mess about with it”

Does anyone have any experience ? I’m getting worried that they are not mentioning it cause I’m a high risk or something of it coming back - I’m a private patient if that makes a difference. It just seems that loads of you have already had some discussion on nipple recons or other surgery to even you up and no one has mentioned it to me !

I’d love any experiences you have - hope everyone is getting better and keeping strong

Hi RECS

There is no too soon or too late, if you are happy with what you’ve got, then that’s fine
However if not do your research there are even pictures to look at, did you have a breast care nurse? if talk to her, she knows all the options out there.

Knowledge is Power

Good Luck!
