Sadly, it looks like either the radiated side is shrinking again or the other side is getting bigger:(. The radiated side had no revision done because I was happy with the size. Have an appointment 9/17 with the surgeon so we'll see

Wow, thank you for sharing your story and helpful tips on RealSelf. You have been through a lot. That's amazing how things worked out for you. You're right, a mammo won't always show everything. Did you get an ultrasound too by any chance? Will your new breasts be fairly similar in size to your original breasts? Congrads on your final surgery. Hoping your going to like your final results. Take care!
Hi, and thanks:) In answer to your question, I've had breast MRI, Ultra Sound Duct-o-gram, needle guided biopsy's, CT scans , not to mention Radiation. Probably glowing by now!! But no more Mamo's for me:)
Glowing but cancer free! :) As a daughter of a breast cancer surviving mom, I'm hoping I can get something other than a mammogram soon. Thank you again for sharing your valuable experience!
