Good for you Tush. My circumstances were similar, but after a regular and triple lumpectomy that didn’t leave much to work with. We opted for a mastectomy on that side and a reduction on the other. Also had implant reconstruction on the mastectomy side, no chemo or radiation for me, just a hormone suppressant for 5 years. So far so good, just a little lopsided lol. 
Hang in there. You will hardly notice it before long!

FF I hear ya. I went into to the meeting with the surgeon fully prepared to tell her just take it all on both sides.
I'm healing and finally was able to sleep on a side last night. After a month of back only it sure did feel nice.
I also was told I can wear whatever ki d of bra I want now but definitely more comfortable with them not moving and strapped down.
No more surgery for me at least at this point.

Met with Rad Onc. Mapping/staging next week and 16 rx tx start after 4th of July.
Started on one of the new meds. Having some potential side effects ....monitoring over the weekend.
Healing well and feeling good.
Was able to resume fetch with the dogs. They are very happy. Too bad its too dang hot to play.
90s for the next week. Can't swim yet from surgery so guess spending a lot of time sweating.

Hope it cools down for you and the pups, but glad to hear you are healing. One step at a time, right? 💪
