Hi @3colours I had a 2cm tumour in my left breast and opted for a therapeutic mammoplasty with reduction on the right breast at the same time. The operation was longer, but as you are out for the count it didn't matter! Whilst operating on the 'healthy ' breast they found a small DCIS which hadn't shown on the mammogram, so I am very lucky! To be honest the sentinel lymph node wound and numbness has caused me more pain than either breast. I think the recovery time is a little longer, but I had healed enough to start radiotherapy after 4 weeks and now at about 10 weeks am doing well. I went fron GG to I think DD, though its hard to tell just yet as I have some post rads swelling in the left. I am delighted with the outcome, and looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life with smaller, perkier breasts! Happy to answer any questions you may have, I know it's a tough decision to make at a time when your still reeling from diagnosis. Lisa
