Hi @CJD_2023
In answer to your last question , I originally had a mastectomy of my left breast and after radiotherapy decided to have my right breast removed as well .
I had DIEP reconstruction and had to wait at least 6 months after completion of radiotherapy to have it done.
My medical team was pretty sure I would be recommended radiotherapy due to the size of my tumour.
I was lobular but no lymph node involvement .
I was not recommended chemo but everyone is different / your treatment team will recommend the best course for your circumstances.
If you want more info on reconstruction your can ask yo join the private group on here “
choosing breast reconstruction” and if you are thinking of going flat there is a private group for that too - call the helpline if you need help joining.
All the best for your treatment 🌺
