I have to agree with @Hopes_and_Dreams very similar situation to mine, and I have to say Jane...in hindsight in 2011 at first diagnosis I wish I had of had the single mastectomy then, as I would have avoided the recurrence and Chemo. My Mum also had a single mastectomy at 40 and NO TREATMENT and was fine for 26 years, she passed away unrelated they said. @kat09 also I can relate to your situation, I'm lucky I guess in that it was the mastectomy/diep recon in 1 hit, so I havent had the lopsided issue, and in the coming months I get to have my revision surgery, where they fix the reconstruction a little more add a nipple and do a lift of my right breast to match, this is all a part of the reconstruction, the lift is. I'll post in reconstruction when I have the revision done to see the difference, but Im so happy so far. x
