    UPDATE: I'm glad to write that post "everything", including radiation, I am doing well and feeling fine. The result after lumpectomy on my cancer breast and reduction on both breasts looks great. My skin handled radiation well and it looks back to normal now. It's a relief to have come to this point ladies. This decision about whether to have a reduction was tough but I'm so glad that I had it. I went from an uncomfortable 40DDD to I'm not sure what my breast size is now...but I'm happy with my smaller breasts! lol In fact, I feel like this is the size they should have been all along. :-)

    Both my final PS and RO appointments were pushed ahead but I expect to get thumbs up from both doctors. I do have the BS f/u appt next week.

    I'm taking Tamoxifen now and doing fine with it. It's kind hard to believe that I've come this far from that dreaded appointment on Dec 30, 2019 when this whole journey began. I feel blessed and ready to put it all behind me now.

    Wishing everyone blessings.

    Hi! I had surgery on Feb. 11. Bilateral w/ 8 lymph nodes taken on the right side and 3 on the left. I have quite a bit of numbness under my right armpit and around the back of my shoulder. Does anyone else have this? The sensations are so hard to describe. I hate it.
