Hello, Can anyone share their experience? I have to choose between a lumpectomy and a bi lateral breast reduction. It’s provinf to be a very emotional issue which I hadn’t expected and I feel very upset most days. I breastfed my sons for ten years and my rather saggy and large 32h boobs are such a part of my identity. The surgeons have strongly advised I have bi lateral surgery on both breast at the same time and then have radiotherapy on the right breast where the tumour formerly was. They want to give me really nice new perky boobs they say. But I am very alarmed by the idea. What if I hate them ?? How will this leave me feeling ? Will they literally cut my nipple off and reattach it ? Won’t having radiotherapy afterwards risk Shrinking the boob where the rumour was? They said because I have big boobs the radiotherapy could cause burns which could scar and they said that’s another reason to have the reduction. I really don’t want to have it. But the surgeons are so strongly urging that as the best option it must be the right way forward. So why does it feel so wrong ? Feel like I’m loosing my mind a bit over this. If anyone can offer some experience , strength or hope that would be great ! Xx
